In each episode of the Inside Our MIND podcast, we take a look at issues and challenges facing education that we are working to address through research, technology and strategic initiatives.

In our latest show, host Brian LeTendre talks with MIND's Lead Mathematician Brandon Smith about some common misconceptions regarding [personalized learning](https://www.stmath.com/personalized-learning). Brandon also gives some guidance on what questions educators should ask when designing or implementing a personalized learning model.
