Kiffany Lychock

Kiffany has been an educator for twenty-five years across a range of roles. Ten of those years were spent in the classroom as a secondary Spanish teacher, where she discovered her passion for engaging students through Project Based Learning. She is an AP- and IB-trained teacher in Spanish and Information Technology in a Global Society, and she also served as a building instructional coach at the high school level.

For the following eleven years, her passion for Project Based Learning and educational technology led her to district-level work with PreK–12 schools, first as an Ed Tech Coordinator and then in various director-level roles spanning Professional Development, Innovation, and Curriculum & Instruction.

Most recently, Kiffany served as assistant principal of a non-traditional high school for three years. She is now in her second year as principal of an alternative high school in Boulder, Colorado.

Kiffany earned Bachelor of Arts degrees in Spanish Literature and Language and in English Literature from the University of Colorado Boulder, and a Master of Arts in Information and Learning Technologies from the University of Colorado Denver. She completed her doctorate at the University of Colorado Denver in May 2025; her dissertation, “Principal Behaviors That Impact Teacher Self-Efficacy in Project Based Learning Schools,” reflects her ongoing commitment to PBL leadership.
