About Me

Dr. Alicia Martin is a 2005 Louis Stokes Alliances of Minority Participation (LSAMP) - STEM scholar and Summa Cum Laude graduate of Texas Southern University, with a B.S. in Mathematics. Dr. Martin also earned an M.S. in Curriculum & Instruction (2007) and an EdD in Educational Leadership (2011) from the University of Houston-Clear Lake.  I hold certifications in TExES Math 8-12, EC-12 Principal, and EC-12 Superintendent, along with a T-TESS appraiser certification, demonstrating my comprehensive expertise in education and leadership. 

For 20 years, Dr. Martin has served as an instructional leader, growing student achievement and providing support through high-quality curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. From 2005-2018, Alicia worked in local area school districts in Houston, Texas and served in the following roles:

• Principal
• Associate Principal
• Dean of Instruction
• Academy Principal/Assistant Principal
• Campus Testing Coordinator
• Secondary Math Specialist
• High School Mathematics Teacher

As an educational leader, Dr. Martin developed an interest in building the capacity of teachers and leaders through data-driven instruction (DDI). This led to directing the Data-Driven Instruction Specialist (DDIS) program in Houston ISD, where over 30 district data specialists assisted campus leaders and teachers with data disaggregation and action planning to improve instructional practices.

From 2018 to 2023, Dr. Alicia Martin delivered professional development and built the capacity of PK-12 teachers, leaders, and district support personnel in executing the DDI cycle, positively impacting student outcomes. Dr. Martin also coordinated district-wide data conferences, organized community events, and shared data-driven initiatives across the district.

In 2023, Dr. Alicia Martin transitioned to the role of Assessment Strategy Director in Houston ISD, supporting assessment alignment and DDI best practices in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) for PK-12 teachers and leaders. Dr. Martin continues to facilitate professional development focusing on building a data-rich culture, developing strategic assessment plans, and maximizing academic outcomes closely linked to teaching and learning.
