<p>The chart below summarizes some ideas around the Context-Centered and Context-Neutral mindsets. For each mindset, you’ll notice the chart describes three common ideas associated with the mindset (orientations). It also gives explanations for these orientations, as well as common consequences. </p>
<p>This chart has been adapted from work done by two researchers at the University of Southern California, Drs. Robert Filback and Alan Green, to synthesize some current thinking in the field about educator mindsets for equity. </p>
