<p>Rich explains the Context-Centered mindset whereby educators consider how students’ lives, experiences, and communities affect how they learn and what they want to learn, and he juxtaposes it with the Context-Neutral mindset in which educators view what happens outside the classroom as irrelevant to learning. He describes how using the Context-Centered mindset can help educators find ways to connect with students and grow their capacity for learning. </p>
