Me & My
Educational Beliefs @ Santa Ana High School
First year math teacher.
About me
My Educational Beliefs 2.5 years old Chinese-American.
I was a data scientist for 5 years, specialized in additive
and multiplicative linear regression models.

at Home Fun Facts

Mr. Hung is a very NICE
guy. We like to go hiking
together.
I have four canine family
members. One of them is a
Spanish speaker.
I love reading literature
and baking.
I have a vegetable garden.
I love boba tea and
Nintendo games.
Growing up, I learned
British English. So, I may
say dustbin sometimes.
I hope to design and build
my own house one day.
I speak Mandarin Chinese,
Japanese and English,
possibly canine. :)

DEAR STUDENTS,
Welcome to my Statistics Class!
Having graduated from Fudan University, Shanghai, I
developed a major interest in data science from
college data analysis project experience.
Having worked in Data Science field for five years, I
obtained expertises in applied statistics and
mathematics. I am proficient in R, SQL, and SPSS.
I hope to share my passion in applied mathematics
with her you, the future data scientists, statisticians, or
mathematicians. I cannot wait to explore and
investigate real-world issues with future statistician
and mathematicians!
 My Educational Beliefs
Culturally Sustaining Classroom
I would like to hear from you.
Me & My Create a “culturally sustaining” classroom (Paris, 2012) that
Educational Beliefs acknowledge and value the differences among students. I
believe that the best way to know you is to listen to you and
About me learn about you individually.
My Educational Beliefs

“Teacher’s practices of cultivating criticality

should help students read the world.”
(Muhammad, 2019)
I would like to invite you to see the world through the lens of
math.
My hope is to introduce math concepts through its application
in the real-world. For example, I would introduce how computer
language reflects fundamental mathematical reasoning, and
how does calculus promote the development of multiple science
disciplines. The goal of my teaching is to develop logical
thinking skills.

UDL(Universal Design for "Bilingualism is an integral part of students'

Learning) Principles
identities and should be respected and valued in
the classroom." (Ascenzi-Moreno, 2018)
English is not my first language as well.
I completed bilingual authorization program to develop the
knowledge of language acquisition. I would like to use UDL,
multiple modalities, in my lecture.

The Inclusive and Welcoming Space for Everyone

I would like to build this learning community with you.
I will collect your feedbacks on a regular basis to improve on my
design. The ultimate goal is to create an inclusive and
welcoming space for everyone. (Gray, 2019)
 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
Please refers to "Ms. Hung's Class Map."

CLASSROOM NORMS
"Treating others as you want to be treated."
⼰所不欲，勿施于⼈。
Mutual respect is earned. This old Chinese saying has an
equivalent form in English.

Be communicative and open about your problems

and issues.
I am here to help you succeed in math.
I am happy to make reasonable accommodations as long as you
communicate with me in advance.

Physical Environment
Co-constructing a Learning Environment
& Classroom Norms
(Philip, 2019)
Physical Environment Bringing in your personal motto(s) to decorate the classroom. It
Classroom Norms can be a poster, a painting, or an artifacts, etc.
Here are my motto(s):
As a data scientist,
“All models are wrong, but some are useful.”
- George E.P. Box
As a math enthusiast,
“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.”
-Albert Einstein

Let us focus on your personal growth, and learn

to trust the power word "YET".
 MY EXPECTATIONS
Please refers to "Ms. Hung's Syllabus" for detailed information
on classroom procedures.

I will go through the syllabus with you on the first day of school.
Please read it throughly and ask me questions.
P.S.
Get ready to be a Mathematician! I would include some
interesting and fun math topics in class on a weekly basis. For
example, the magic of √2.
Class participation and positive classroom behavior will earn
you Mathematician points.

Please ask me for a syllabus in another language.

WHEN ACCIDENT HAPPENS

Classroom Norms
Ways to Sustain Talk to me and reason your own behavior to me. I promise to
Our Class Community listen to your reasons before making any further moves.
My Expectations You will hear me say:
When accident happens - "Treating others as you want to be treated." -- unwanted
behavior/ language
- "5-4-3-2-1" -- focus on me and stop talking

Homework
A pass of homework can be earned if a student comes to me
and takes a customized quiz with me. The quiz would test
student’s knowledge about a single lesson topic, a chapter, or
multiple lesson topics. For example, I would ask you to
demonstrate your understanding of a quadratic function and
ask you multiple follow-up questions.

** P.S. Be prepared to be challenged. It is only fair to grant

homework pass(es) when you attained mastery in the content
area(s).

MS. HUNG'S PROMISES

01
I promise to respect and
value the language you
speak by:
- employing SIOP protocol to
promote English language
acquisition.
- designing and continuing to
refine my assessment plan in
order to better assess
emergent bilingual's learning
outcome. (Ascenzi-Moreno,
2018)
02
I promise to create a
“culturally sustaining”
classroom (Paris, 2012)
that acknowledges and
values the differences
among students. The
best way to know your
students is to listen to
them and learn about
them individually.
03
I promise to cultivate
critical thinking skills by
introducing lesson topic
through real world
examples and making the
lesson relevant and
interesting for students.
(Muhammad, 2019)
I believe learning math is
a process of "co‑construct
meaning with students".
(Philip, 2019)

04
I promise to practice "racial noticing"
(Shah & Cole, 2020) in our learning
community by actively examine and
"concretely analyze" (Pollock, 2008)
my personal bias and privileges and
align my actions with my advocates.
05
I promise to include my students in the
process of building an inclusive and
intellectually challenging math learning
community with them.
I will "seek for lesson feedback" from
my students. (Wiggins & McTigue,
2005)

NICE TO MEET YOU,

FUTURE MATHEMATICIANS!
