Tiffani Patrick
Second Grade

My name is Tiffani Patrick and I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher!  I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you as the school year progresses.

I graduated from Southern Nazarene University in 1996 with my Master’s Degree in Education, specifically Curriculum and Instruction.  I started my teaching career in 1998 at my Alma Mater (Bethany Public Schools) teaching first grade and remained there for seven years.  It was fun walking down the same halls that I had walked down as a child many years ago.  In fact, the room in which I taught was my third grade classroom!

I’ve attended many Professional Conferences to further my education as a teacher – Great Expectations, Literacy First, Core Knowledge, I Teach First, OK TechMasters, Brain-based Learning, Guided Reading –just to name a few! 

I have a passion for teaching children and helping them understand their world better.  There’s nothing like seeing a child’s face when they make a connection and have developed a real understanding of something new.  It’s priceless!

In 2005, we moved to Edmond and anxiously awaited the completion of our home we were building.  I took time off from teaching to help my family adjust to our new environment.  Two of my children attended Prairie Vale last year – Ryan, now in sixth grade, and Mollie, now in second grade here at Rose Union.  My youngest, Brady, was in Pre-K.  I enjoyed the role of being “Mom” and getting to volunteer in their classrooms and at other school events.  It was a wonderful time that I will always cherish.

I married my high school sweetheart, David, in 1991.  Now, almost 15 years later, we have three children, two cats, Sugar and Cookie, and one recently adopted Golden Retriever, Scout.  We love living in the Deer Creek area and enjoy spending time around our pool as a family.    

I am delighted to be here at Rose Union teaching first grade!  It will be a wonderful year of learning together!
