Jamie Martin is a new teaching assistant in the building, but she taught at Seckman for the past three years and at a preschool for fifteen years prior to that. Martin received her teaching certification in middle school mathematics from Missouri Baptist University. This year, she assists in self-contained classes as well as algebra classes.

Martin has always wanted to become a teacher. “I love working with children,” Martin said. She wants her classroom to feel like a welcome learning environment, and she hopes that her students know that there are no dumb questions.
