Step Connections' Podcast

As my students are concluding their interviewing experiences in STEP this term, they were asked to reflect on their observations as they transition into the next level of their education and ultimately their future. Students were asked to answer the following questions with respect to their podcasts: What did you learn from your experience? Which guest was most influential/inspiring to you? Why? What is YOUR definition of success? We hope you enjoyed the podcast projects this year! Thank you to our inspiring guests for taking time out of their busy schedules to express their opinions on how they developed their successful careers. Without their support, this project would not have been possible. George J. Bikakis STEP Teacher Dag Hammarskjold Middle School Wallingford, CT
