Faculty Embrace A Love of Thinking and Learning on Professional Development Day

February 7th, 2025


At St. Martin’s Episcopal School, the pursuit of knowledge extends beyond the classroom—not just for students, but for our dedicated faculty and staff as well. Our recent Professional Development Day was a testament to the passion, expertise, and commitment that define our school community.

A Day of Growth and Innovation

Educators across all divisions—Lower, Middle, and Upper School—came together to lead and participate in a diverse range of sessions. Topics covered included the integration of AI in the classroom, fostering student resilience, supporting academic growth, and staying ahead of national trends in college admissions. These sessions sparked meaningful discussions, inspired fresh ideas, and reinforced our shared mission of enhancing student learning.

Hands-On Learning for George Cottage Staff

Meanwhile, our George Cottage team embarked on an enriching experience at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. Immersed in Reggio Emilia-inspired learning, they explored hands-on exhibits that provided valuable insights into early childhood education. The visit left them energized and eager to bring new, imaginative approaches to our youngest Saints, nurturing their curiosity and creativity.

A Culture of Lifelong Learning

At St. Martin’s, professional development isn’t just an event—it’s a core part of who we are. We take pride in fostering a culture where educators continuously learn from one another, collaborate, and grow together. Their dedication not only elevates our classrooms but also strengthens our entire school community.

We are grateful for our exceptional faculty and staff who inspire not only their students but also each other. Their unwavering commitment to education ensures that St. Martin’s remains a place where learning never stops.
