R Martin

Ms. Rebekkah Martin is one of our awesome substitute teachers here at Chillicothe R-II Schools! She has subbed for seven years and works in buildings throughout the district.

Rebekkah explains that she enjoys substitute teaching in the District because of the variety of age groups she gets to work with. “The best part of being a substitute (teacher) is being able to be in elementary one day and high school the next and then going from subbing for a high school English teacher to subbing for a second grade teacher.” She added, “Both the staff and administrators (of the District) are very helpful whenever you need help with a lesson plan or even with a student.”

She says that she would tell anyone interested in substitute teaching to try it. “If you like children and helping them learn new things - go for it!”

Rebekkah is a single mother of three girls - CHS Grad Danielle, 18, who is currently finishing her freshman year at Columbia College in Columbia, Mo.; Kayla, 15, a CHS Freshman; and Lindsey, 10, who is in fourth grade at Dewey School. When she’s not working as a substitute teacher, you can find Rebekka at Hy-Vee Gas, where she works part-time. This year, Rebekkah has decided to go back to school, and is currently finishing up her Bachelor’s degree at Missouri Western State University. She says she plans to be a certified teacher by the 2023-25 school year. Rebekkah’s an active member of Lifepoint Church, where she’s involved with Monday night Impact and serves on the Worship teams. When she’s not working or studying, you can find Rebekkah hanging out with her girls. She says they love spending time outdoors and camping in the summer, and she enjoys watching movies and playing games with her girls as time allows.
