Rhode Island Milken Educator Kyle Spaltholz (RI '25) is reflecting on key moments and insights from this year's MEA Forum. Reflecting on this year's MEA Forum, Kyle shared, "After the Milken Educator Awards Forum, I left feeling renewed and motivated as an educator. I felt on fire with inspiration after being surrounded by educators who are equally passionate about their commitment to their school communities and furthering the field of education. I am bringing this energy and support from the other Milken Educators back to my home state to create meaningful change for our students."
