<p>In Unit 4, you will learn about the Context-Centered versus Context-Neutral mindsets. Rich will explain the importance of drawing on your students' experiences outside of school. You will hear from educators at Latitude High School about the ways they put the Context-Centered mindset into practice to motivate students and design class projects. You will do a practice space focusing on drawing on students’ lived experiences outside of school during a lesson. Justin will introduce you to the Rebalancing Mindsets Project where you will identify a mindset in your context that is out of balance and create an asset map identifying people and resources that could help you with rebalancing that mindset.</p>
