Interview with Teachers
Carol Dweck and David Yeager spoke to administrators and teachers in the NMIN when distance learning started in 2020 to understand the impact of this upheaval. We heard inspiring stories about teachers who have gone above and beyond, about students who are working hard in the midst of huge economic challenges, and about administrators who have kept their staff inspired and cohesive. We asked the NMIN teachers and administrators to share some of their insights with us. These interviews are available on our YouTube channel.
