Joni Tiffany - As one of the Instructional Coordinators here at IAESM, I am excited to be a part of this team.  I am a veteran teacher with 26 years in education.  My name is Mrs. Tiffany and I have been happily married for 38 years enjoying 3 grown children and a wonderful grandson.  As a teacher, I am energized about the love of learning and the strong literacy foundation we are presenting to our students.  I have my BS in Elementary Ed from the University of Missouri-Columbia, my Master’s (MAED) from Baker University in Kansas, and have years of specialized training in Comprehensive Literacy, including the Summer Literacy Institute at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.  I hope I am a role model for being positive, treating people kindly and working hard to help others.  My favorite quote is, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” Teaching has and continues to be my life’s career choice.  I enjoy the children, their parents and my staff here at IAESM.  I am blessed to serve here.

Tad Hartmann - I am part of the inaugural team that witnessed this school grow from an enrollment of 3 to nearly 1400 students.  An amazing transition it has been! As instructional coordinator, I am working to instill the "environmental" piece into our school curriculum and culture.  I also spend time concentrating on our  Federal Programs grants.  Tinkering with this web page has been a recent pastime of mine.  I also enjoy photography, cooking and occasionally travel (here I am in front of Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah).

I am married and have 3 young children: Alison (8), Brenna (6), and Colin (4).  They love to come and see Daddy's school because it is such an exciting place.
