"In my experience, kids are not "just bad". They're curious."

- Andrea McCormick

Andrea McCormick is a Founding Assistant Principal at Kipp Change Academy. Although she originally wanted to work in the justice system to help people who have been silenced, she now works as an educator to help people discover their voices before that happens. Andrea talks to me about how Kipp includes SEL for both students and teachers.
