Welcome to Mrs. Martinez' Homepage

When I began teaching over ten years ago, I knew right away that this would be my life’s work, a means by which I could fulfill my mission in life.  Each year, I have felt renewed in my mission and inspired by my students and colleagues.  I love my work and feel blessed to call Salesian a home.

I believe it is critical that we challenge ourselves to grow and improve in both our professional and personal life, stretching beyond our comfort zones.  As such, each year I set goals that seem just beyond my reach.  The following are my stretch goals for this year:

As the Curriculum Coordinator I strive to...

Facilitate collegial discussion and collaboration among teachers as they design and refine stimulating and challenging curriculum which meets the needs of all students.

As the AP Language & Composition Teacher I strive to...

Design engaging units of study which cast my students as thinkers, seekers of understanding, and creators of knowledge – not merely as absorbers of information. 

As a Professional Educator I strive to...

Continually refine my practices by actively seeking feedback from my students, peers and other leaders in the profession and by monitoring current research and policies related to overall school improvement and student achievement.
