My name is Sarah Martin, and I am a striving educational leader with a strong background in classroom teaching and learning. As an educational leader, my philosophy on student success relies heavily on relationships and communication. By using strong communication and creating effective relationships with school staff members, parents, and community stakeholders, I ensure that teaching and learning take a central role in the school. Using data, I encourage staff members to collaborate in order to provide a climate conducive to gains in student learning.  As an honest and transparent educational leader, I work to create a positive climate and culture.  I am a genuine person who wants the best for my students and staff.  Through the servant leadership style, I create a climate where all people feel valued and supported.
