"You have to have a real person that connecting with the kids whose making it real ... they have all these things going on inside of them and you need that adult who recognizes that and is working with them on that."

- Steven Miletto

Steven Miletto of the Teaching Learning Leading K12 podcast joins me to talk about personalized learning, changes he's noticed in education throughout his career, and the importance of giving your all in anything you do. A love of history and a dislike for the way he was taught inspired Steven to make education better for others, including continuing to learn himself so he can keep serving his students to the best of his ability.
