Introduction

Hello there!

My name is Jacqueline Mendez. I am from Riverside, California. I am 28 years old and am currently working on my single-subject teaching credential for English. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in Spring of 2015 with a Bachelor's degree in Art History and began the Credential/Masters program with National University in the Fall of 2016. I have had plenty of experience working in education. For 2 years, I worked as an AVID tutor for AVID students at the high school and middle school level. For 5 years after that, I worked as an instructional aide for an elementary level RSP program. Currently, I am working as a substitute high school/middle school teacher. This has been my first year working as a substitute teacher and so far it has been a wonderful learning experience.

I have created this blog as a requirement for one of my Master's courses through National University, MAT 671. The title of the course is Applied Best Practice Strategies in Classroom Instruction. Throughout this course, I will be introduced to several teaching resources that I will share weekly on this blog. This is my very first blogging experience! I look forward to everything it has to offer.

Thank you for reading.
