ENGAGING STUDENTS OF POVERTY: Practical Strategies That Raise

This course was fantastic. The course text was supplemented with great educational and inspiring videos. The instructor was very encouraging and enthusiastic, timely with her feedback, and offered great suggestions and advice.

Loved this course. Instructor was superb! This would be a great asset for a team of educators. This should be offered as group rate. This has been one of the most useful courses I've ever taken.

What a wonderful experience, amazing instructor, incredible preparation, materials, and feedback provided.

Brenda was a phenomenal instructor. She made the information easy to access, comprehensible, and relatable. She was incredibly quick with her feedback and did so in a positive and inquisitive way. This course far exceeded my expectations.

Brenda McKinney was an amazing mentor and instructor for the course Engaging Students of Poverty. She inspired, encouraged and cheered on my learning and development with a genuine care and appreciation for my position and responsibilities. I will be looking for another class that she facilitates.

Brenda McKinney will open your mind to a whole new set of tools for energizing teaching and engaging students. We have the power to help all students experience the miracle of learning. Brenda uses her wealth of experience to bring Jensen's text alive.

Brenda McKinney is an excellent instructor. She adds articles, links to research, websites and more to help you along the way. Her feedback is immediate and relevant. I love every course I take from this instructor, and look forward to taking more.

Brenda McKinney is knowledgeable, encouraging, inspiring, and highly professional. She gives thorough and immediate feedback and her input is always right on target with what I need to improve and grow. She takes her courses and her students very seriously and I learn an immense amount from her. Her courses have definitely changed my thinking and improved my practice. I would love to take more courses from her; she is amazing!

I have been taking post-graduate classes for years. I think Brenda was an exceptional teacher. Besides the excellent academically-created course, her guidance, positive energy, patience, and support are something I appreciated. I want to take another class from her and recommend her without reservations to my colleagues. After 13 years of abusive and insulting principals I was demoralized and wanted to quit after 31 years of teaching. Brenda has relit the candle of hope for me, and I excited to use her material every day. I find it so valuable that I plan on writing some of her suggestions and strategies, And ideas and having them spiral-bound into a book to use everyday. Brenda is a blessing. I am looking forward to school and not dreading it as I have for the last 13 years. Sincerely, Cheryl A. Jackson
