Mrs. Tisha Cocke

Welcome!

Hi, my name is Tisha Cocke, the ESL teacher in Cannon County schools. I received a degree in Art Education in 2001 and spent my first 5 years as an art teacher in Warren Co. I then received an endorsement for English as a Second Language from TTU in 2007, as well as a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in ESL from MTSU in 2009, and have been teaching ESL ever since.

I am excited to teach all the English language learners in Cannon County. I enjoy traveling to the different schools and seeing all different students. I am here to help language learners ease into the mainstream classroom by giving students extra vocabulary practice to help with English language acquisition. I truly put my heart into this job, and I will love your children like my own! I can't wait to be a part of your child's education.
