                        TRIBUTE TO TIFFANY PERRY

 Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, I recognize Tiffany Perry, the 
Osceola County Teacher of the Year from East Lake Elementary School in 
Kissimmee, FL.
  Tiffany makes it her mission to know her students well. She 
encourages her students to be authentic and show their uniqueness. 
Tiffany prefers to hear their voice in the classroom more than her own.
  Tiffany applied Socratic Seminars to help improve writing skills by 
having her students ask and answer questions together by using critical 
thinking and encouraging different viewpoints. She also teaches her 
students to focus on the engineering design process by working with 
them to code robots.
  Tiffany teaches fifth grade at East Lake Elementary School. She also 
serves as her school's grade-level chairman, helps model lessons for 
other teachers, and trains teachers on various strategies to use in the 
classroom.
  I extend my deepest gratitude and best wishes to Tiffany for her 
commitment to her students. I look forward to hearing about her 
continued good work in the years to come.
