In her
own words…
“I chose a career in
teaching because…I wanted to motivate and infuse confidence in kids that there
is something special within them, that they can overcome their current life
limitations, which are no fault of their own, through hard work and dedication.
I believe, through education, kids can shape their own destiny, live a better
life, and make a difference in their community.”
In the
words of others . . .
“Due to her ability to
teach students effectively, she has taught 3rd, 4th, and
5th grade here at Shadow Oaks. . . .She speaks to her students to
inspire their hunger for knowledge and learning. The level of respect between
Ms. Ortiz and her students is evidence of the good relationships she has
fostered with them since the moment these students came into her room.”
– Carlos Ortiz,Shadow Oaks Elementary Bilingual Interventionist
“Mrs.
Ortiz is a risk taker…Strong relationships are the footing to her success as a
teacher. Ms. Ortiz piloted a program, “Who is Coming to My House? . . . During
these home visits, she mentored and modeled for parents how to best support
their child’s education at home.”
– Julie Baggerly, Shadow Oaks Elementary Principal
