Liza Clifton is thrilled to be at TCPS sharing her passion for history and research! Liza first was introduced to TCPS as a parent.  Now, it all comes full circle as she teaches middle school history and research at TCPS.  Liza has been teaching for over 20 years first teaching high school social sciences and later working as a support teacher specializing in reading intervention and assisting students with learning challenges.  She looks forward to helping her students think not only about the subjects they are studying but also about how they learn best.
