Study Guide
● Equity vs Equality
○ Equity = different support based on need
○ Equality = same for every student
■ If it says for ALL it is NOT EQUITY
■ Same goal different supports (does not lower expectations) ●
Types of Safety
○ Physical safety = space, environment, access
○ Emotional safety = feelings, belonging
○ Cultural responsiveness = honoring identity ●
Social-Efficancy Sources
○ Mastery = “I did it” (can complete after several attempts and guided practice)
○ Vicarious (observe) = “I saw someone do it”
○ Social persuasion (encourage) = “Someone told me I can”
○ Emotional state = feelings (anxiety/confidence)
● Person vs Process Praise
○ Person praise (“you’re smart”) = risk avoidance ○ Process praise (“you worked
hard”) = growth
■ If it sounds like a TRAIT = BAD OUTCOME ●
Memory Processes
○ Encoding = input
○ Storage = keep
○ Retrieval = recall (only pulling information out)
● Learning Strategies
○ Elaborative rehearsal = connect to prior knowledge ○ Dual coding = visuals +
words
■ If it says “connect to what you know” = elaborative (elaborate using prior
knowledge)
