@KRenaeP Character development over time is what really sets that show apart!! Glad you came around 😂

[Andrea McKinley @MsMcKinley_STEM]

@KRenaeP I had the same experience with that show!! So glad I kept watching. Hilarious. Same with Parks and Rec, which ended up becoming my favorite show of all time 😆

Just like after the 2016 election, my students give me hope in a dark time. Their resiliency and excitement about learning even in the midst of this pandemic inspire me to keep going 🙏🏾

[Andrea McKinley @MsMcKinley_STEM]

Had a great community circle w/ my advisory today about #COVIDー19 Students who don’t normally participate spoke up, and by using a stuffed animal talking piece, students did a great job of listening to each other. We discussed misinformation, racial prejudice, fear, and safety.

This 👇🏾 Relationships, engagement, and rigor go hand in hand

[Angela 👩🏾‍💻👩🏾‍🏫 @wokeSTEMteacher]

I am all for building positive relationships with students. I am a firm believer that students learn better from teachers they like, but once we have them invested, we need to be creating and offering quality content.

[Andrea McKinley @MsMcKinley_STEM]

@mr_Alsheimer @TeacherFit19 This is inspiring!

[Andrea McKinley @MsMcKinley_STEM]

So true! Relationships are the foundation for everything else.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Positive relationships can be a powerful motivator. Students work harder for teachers they like and respect. And Teachers work harder for admin they like and respect too.

[Andrea McKinley @MsMcKinley_STEM]

Agreed!

Wise words: Whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning.
