Topic-prevalence analysis of Layers responses (N = 7,429 sentence rows) against the Context-Specific/Context-Neutral survey scale. Context-Centered participants also mentioned drawing on students' existing assets and including student perspectives; Context-Neutral participants more often described reassigning groups or adjusting activity time.

"Participants with more of a Context-Centered mindsets were more likely to mention drawing on students' experiences in their communities and their home and family (Topic 8, "Students presenting about culture/history"); to mention making the lesson relevant to students' interests and lives (Topic 5, "Relevance to students' interests and lives");"
