Jane Martin has had the opportunity and privilege to work in many levels of education as both a teacher and administrator. As an Elementary Teacher and Reading Specialist I found my passion in life which was teaching children to be the best they could be academically and as individuals. As a Building and Central Office Administrator I was given the opportunity to make significant positive changes in the educational environment that increased student achievement for all childrenAs a college professor I now have the privilege of helping to educate future teachers. During my career I have served on numerous local and State committees dedicated to making positive changes in education. I am NISL trained (National Institute for School Leadership), a Reading Apprenticeship Trainer, and have published two Reading training manuals for Adult Basic Education. I have served as the Vice President for the local Chapter of PASCD and am a member of ASCD, IRA, and PDK.
What Calls Me to Education?
“Children call me to be an educator! There is nothing more important in life than guiding and helping to develop children to their fullest potential. Children are the future of our society and world and education is the key to the success of the human race. All children deserve a high-quality education that targets their strengths and helps them to develop their passions in and for life. Children must be prepared both academically and socially to live in a world of limitless opportunities. It is a privilege and a passion of mine to take part in the raising of future generations by helping to build conscious personal character in children as well as strong academic minds.”
