Dear AMTNJ Community,
My name is Jen Martins and I am deeply honored to serve as your AMTNJ president for 2026. I want to begin by thanking our outgoing president for her exceptional leadership and the countless volunteers who make AMTNJ what it is. Whether you’ve organized conferences, facilitated professional development, served as a mentor, or supported student events, your generosity is the foundation of everything we accomplish together.
I can say with certainty that I am a better math educator because of all that I have learned through AMTNJ. The professional growth and connections I’ve gained from this community have transformed my teaching practice, and I’m committed to ensuring every member has access to those same transformative experiences.
As we move forward, my focus centers on several key priorities. Following the success of our split K-5 and 6-12 fall conferences, we will continue providing targeted professional development for all math educators around the state. Building on the success of last spring’s math intervention and special education intensive conference, we’ll expand our support for special education math teachers and interventionists by hosting another special education and math intervention conference this April at Rutgers University. I’m committed to exploring AI best practices in math education as we navigate this evolving landscape thoughtfully. We’ll be strengthening our support around the state to ensure that every member—current and new—has access to resources and professional connections. And we’ll maintain our strong commitment to student outreach and scholarships. Keep checking our website for updates on professional learning opportunities throughout the year.
I’m energized by the work ahead and grateful to be on this journey with all of you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with your ideas or questions. This is your organization, and I’m here to serve you. Here’s to a wonderful year of growth, learning, and collaboration!
Warmly,
Jen Martins
