Martine Laroche

 As an enthusiastic advocate for my native French language, I have spent the past 25 years teaching in various capacities in the Twin cities as well as providing language services for Cargill and 3M. I am a MN K-12 French teaching licensed professional and I always seek opportunities to continue keeping up with instructional 21st century skills.

This opportunity to to become a member of the Board of Notre École follows the path to continue improving the growth of this one of a kind Charter School. I am proud to be representing a teacher-powered environment with the support of a high level of interpersonal interaction with students and community members .

I understand children’s need to create real life-connections with the world; It’s vital to provide them with the right tools in a constantly changing society. I experience daily successful outcomes in my classroom setting encouraging students to find their voice and develop their critical thinking process.  I enjoy creating project-based STEAM lessons allowing students to have fun learning and applying their knowledge.
