Philosophy towards Teaching:

I believe that one of the most important

things about being an educator is to
build and maintain a relationship filled
with trust and respect with your
students. Mathematics is a class that
many students struggle in, and once
they sense failure they shut down.
My mission as an educator is to help
students comprehend the basis of the
content material as I attempt to help
them develop their full potential.
Students success in my class is
required and I will do my absolute best
to make sure that my students succeed
to the best of their ability and maybe,
they can develop a friendly relationship
with the math world.
Expectations for Students:
Students will be expected to:
1. Come to class prepared and on
time.
2. Come into class with an attitude
that is ready to learn.
3. Be respectful and mindful of other
students.
4. Refrain from using electronics in
class that are not permitted.
5. Give your best eort at all times.
6. No chewing gum.
7. Display academic honesty.

Introduction
About Ms. Mendoza:
I am a graduate of the Hazleton Area High
School, class of 2015. I graduated with a
bachelors degree in secondary education with a
focus in mathematics from Kutztown University
of Pennsylvania. I will pursue a masters degree
in a content area that has yet to be decided at
the University of Kansas, when the time is right.

Some of my interests include: volunteering at my

local Salvation Army installation, spending time
with my wonderful puppy Pablo, and sending
care packages to the brave men and women who
are risking their lives to defend our freedom.
