Tiffany Cofrin says she is so humbled to be honored as Hamden Public School’s 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year. Tiffany quickly found her home at Church Street School, and has been there for 11 years. During this time, she has taught both fifth and sixth grade. Tiffany is a product of the Hamden Public School System.  She attended Bear Path Elementary School, Hamden Middle School and Hamden High School.  She went on to continue her education while playing collegiate basketball at Western New England University in Springfield, MA.  She is so proud to be able to give back to a town that has given her so much.  She thanks the amazing teachers she had growing up; inspiring her love of learning and desire to support others, that guided her to the teaching profession.  

Tiffany is masterful at building relationships with her students, and because of that, her clear expectations, and instructional techniques, her students are able to perform at high levels. Tiffany loves teaching because it gives her the ability to leave a lasting impact on her students and help pave their path.  Tiffany serves on countless district and school- wide committees.  She is a TEAM mentor, and loves assisting new teachers get started in the profession. She is also on the Hamden High School Girls Basketball coaching staff. We are proud to have her represent our town as Hamden’s 2019 Teacher of the Year.
