  • Charles- Columbia University

    Dr. Anderson reshaped my understanding of Special Education in schools. I was better prepared as a teacher, and more equipped to meet the needs of all my students as a result of her instruction.

  • Victoria- Kean University

    Dr. Anderson was a great professor, preaching an important paradigm-shifted perspective, different from traditional education philosophy, and she had many resources to back it up.

  • Katrina- Kean University

    Professor Anderson was one of the only professors that I’ve ever had that taught a class that actually made me want to learn more. She made the class so interesting and always came prepared. While encouraging us to step out of our comfort zones, she gave her students the drive to work together with other students who we normally wouldn’t communicate with and in turn we built some lifelong friendships. I’m forever grateful for the chance I had to learn under the amazing Mishka Anderson!

  • Daniela- Hunter College

    Dr. Mishka Anderson was a great help to me as I started out my teaching career. She was diligent, caring, smart, professional, dependable and had many skills and resources to help me along the way on my journey.

Mishka was also friendly, easygoing, encouraging, fair and open minded. It was a pleasure to have her working with me.
