Marta Soto-Johnson, Maloney High School, Meriden Public Schools

Marta is a dedicated mathematics educator with a decade of experience teaching secondary school students across a wide range of courses, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Calculus, Statistics, AP Statistics, and Principles of Engineering. From 2020 to 2025, Marta taught Math 7 and Pre-Algebra in Meriden Public Schools, where she was recognized with the 2025 AP Scholar Award. This year, Marta has moved back to teaching Algebra 1 at Maloney High School. Marta’s academic background is as diverse as her teaching: she holds a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, an M.S. in Management of Technology, and an M.B.A., reflecting her strong foundation in both technical and applied problem-solving. Fluent in English and Spanish, she brings accessibility and inclusivity to her classrooms, ensuring students of different backgrounds can thrive. Her commitment to instructional innovation is evident in her professional presentations, including two poster sessions at the Alliance District Symposium in 2025 on the use of manipulatives to deepen understanding (2022–2023) and on embedding geometry standards intentionally within the Grade 7 math curriculum (2024–2025). Beyond her classroom, Marta serves her community as a board member for the Meriden, Berlin, and New Britain YMCAs.
