My name is Loriann Martell and I have been a science teacher for 31 years. Being in a small district, I've taught almost every type of science (7th, 8th, Biology, Psychology, Regents Chemistry, Advanced Chemistry and College Biology). I am also the president of the Barker Teacher's Union and the Math/Science Department Chair. About 10 years ago I started to see a decline in literacy and have been a strong advocate for change. I've worked very hard to establish the structure my district needed and have worked to put the systems in place that were required before we started a program of literacy improvement. I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
