Here at NBCHS Over Coffee, I talk to teachers and other staff members at North Battleford Comprehensive High School to open the door into their lives beyond the classroom and find what motivates them in their roles.
Koraley Anderson is the epitome of authenticity—a core value she uses daily to build safety and trust among the students in her classroom. Equipped with a determined growth mindset, Koraley employs the authentic teaching strategies of “voice and choice” to connect student interests and passions to content learning. From her early journey as a journeyman hairstylist and esthetician to her time in the University of Saskatchewan’s SUNTEP program as a mother of three (Class of 2006), listen in to this episode of NBCHS Over Coffee to hear the story of a skilled educator and a resilient and determined individual. And, of course, find out the answer to the question we have all been wondering: “Has she ever used a mannequin head to scare her husband of 32 years?”

NBCHS Over Coffee - 311 : Andrea Atkinson
Born in Meadow Lake, SK, and raised in Edmonton, AB, Andrea Atkinson is living a dream here at NBCHS! Working in a school is a desire she has held since encountering her Grade 4 teacher, who demonstrated the power educators have to inspire students and make them feel like a somebody.
