About
Ortiz...
Welcome!!! I am the eighth grade strategies teacher, and co-teach with Ms. Wiese and Ms. Hillebrand in language arts and math. I was born and raised in Arizona. In my free time I enjoys hiking, reading, traveling, cheering on my favorite teams, namely, the Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns and Arizona Cardinals, and spending time with my loved ones.
My Education and Professional Background
I earned a BS in Elementary and Special Education from Northern Arizona University with an endorsement in Structured English Immersion. The majority of my teaching experience has been in a third through fifth grade, and seventh through eighth grade classroom setting.
My Educational Philosophy
A love of working with young people and watching students grow has led me to a career in teaching. My plan was to teach at the elementary level, but after spending a short time with junior high students as a para-educator, I knew these were the students that I wanted to work with. I strive in making my classroom a safe, exciting and welcoming environment to learn. If you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment, please don't hesitate to contact me, preferably through email.
