Flipped learning and mindset: teaching reflections in pandemic times

>Everybody has a fixed and a growth mindset. When we are faced with challenges, one or the other pop up to tell us we will get through them or that we will fail. In this presentation, Martha Ramirez will present the dichotomy of the fixed and growth mindset within our various educator beliefs along with the role flipped learning has played during pandemic teaching. Martha will share reflections, experiences, and strategies that have emerged when confronted with her own mindset during confinement.
