Matt and Courtney talk to Nithi Thomas of the Learning Accelerator at the Mid-Atlantic Conference on Personalized Learning, and ask her about professional development for educators, and how we can promote career readiness through personalized learning. #stilliterating The interview series continues!

Matt and Courtney interview Beth Rabbitt, CEO of The Learning Accelerator at the Mid-Atlantic Conference on Personalized Learning. What does personalizing for students look like, and how do we develop adult learners? Especially for people who already "get it" - how do we move them forward rather than convince people personalized learning is the way to go? It's hard to move forward since most adults have never been in the types of environments we want our learners to be in. Is personalized professional development the answer?

Matt and Courtney return! What's up with the language we talk with kids in classrooms? Are we intentional in how we talk with kids? How do we reflect and make changes to be more appropriate with what we ask of our learners?

Matt and Courtney continue their interview series from the Mid-Atlantic Conference on Personalized Learning with Kaylah Vera and Anastasia Alvarez of Governor Mifflin HS in Pennsylvania. Do you want to hear some mic drop moments? These young learners are full of those moments! It's a must listen to see how school can be different - and this is their first year of change! We also talked (a little) with one of their teachers, Nick Morrissey, but you know and we know it's all about the learners. Follow Kaylah on Twitter @kaylahb9 and the school district at @GovMifflinSD.

Matt and Courtney talk about standardized testing, and what it's good for, and what we as a country THINK it's good for. Spoiler: it's not the same thing.

Let it go, and stay for the cool disco music in the background!

Matt and Courtney pod from a hallway in Atlantic City at #MACPL19. They talk about math, why people denigrate themselves as being "not a math person", and what you can do to change that mindset.
