Welcome to the D2L Master Class Series

Mindset & Mindfulness

Mindset and mindfulness are two separate – but interconnected – concepts often explored in education because of their positive impacts on academic and social learning. In this class, Dr. Cristi Ford, D2L’s VP of Academic Affairs, and Kassia Gandhi, the Director of Academic Affairs, discuss all things mindset and mindfulness. What is the difference between mindset and mindfulness in education, and can growth mindset exist without mindfulness? What are some practical ways to employ mindfulness and mindset strategies in teaching and learning? And what are the pitfalls associated with employing these strategies in the classroom? Along the way, we’ll explore new research, practice mindfulness ourselves, and reflect on the true impact of “the 2 M’s” on education.
