Andrea (Drey) Martone

Degrees

Professional Experience

I started my career in management consulting and enjoy applying that problem-solving approach to the field of education. Later as a fourth-grade teacher in New York City, I enjoyed analyzing the students’ needs and assessment results combined with the district’s standards and curriculum to determine how to best support the students.

While completing my doctorate, I was a project manager for a computer-based adaptive test development grant. This experience allowed me to develop experience in item writing, standard setting, and approaches to validity and reliability.

While at Saint Rose, I enjoy working with elementary schools in a variety of ways to support teachers and learn more from those experiences.

Teaching Interests

I teach both at the undergraduate and graduate level. My areas of expertise are in methods of teaching, math and science education for elementary education, assessment, and research. Throughout my teaching, I model pedagogies students can apply in their own work.

I believe that it is important to use assessment to inform instruction and this belief infuses my teaching. My work in elementary schools continually informs the work I do with our students.
