At the beginning of this new 2016-17 school year, Pueblo welcomed back a former teacher (who also completed her student-teaching here): Ms. Tiffany Mendibles-Mu\u00f1oz. This year, she is teaching senior and junior-level English classes.<\/p>\n

Before returning to Pueblo, Mendibles was working at Changemaker High School. She said she missed Pueblo and really wanted to return here so that she could teach \u201cculturally relevant\u201d courses.<\/p>\n

As a co-sponsor of MEChA, (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano\/a de Aztlan), which connects to the culturally relevant courses, Mendibles-Mu\u00f1oz said that she believes that beginning her kick-classes reading the poem, In the Lak\u2019ach<\/em>, written by Lu\u00eds Valdez, helps to motivate her students.<\/p>\n

This poem, which translates to \u201cYou are my other me\u201d, is a \u201cgreat\u201d philosophy that grounds her classroom and minimizes classroom management problems, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Pueblo] students are amazing,\u201d Mendibles added. \u201cThey\u2019re so open to my teaching philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mendibles also added that it felt good to give back to the community she grew up around, and she said that she hopes to stay here for a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cPueblo is a community filled with love,\u201d she said. \u201cStepping away for two years opened my eyes to the beauty that lies within the school. I have the privilege of being part of this community, and it is something I will cherish as I embark on the journey of educating and empowering the youth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
