Math & Science Teacher Induction
Great teachers are the key to preparing students for success in careers and college. SREB SMART (Science and Math Alternative Route to Teaching) is SREB’s professional learning program for secondary math and science teachers who enter education through an alternative route. Such teachers may have strong math and science content knowledge but not a degree in education, classroom experience or confidence in their teaching abilities.

Curtis Martin’s motivation for teaching can be seen in a quotation by author Victor Hugo that he’s added to his email signature line, “He who opens a school door, closes a prison.”

Having seen too many children end up behind bars, Martin decided to work with middle grades students to give them opportunities that can improve their chances for success in life.
