    • ex. internal dialogue, self-monitoring, problem-solving
  8. Vygotsky's Principles
    • our knowledge and teaching practises come from the current historical moment
    • 1) social inequalities - women, race, and class
    • 2) the possibilities of public education
    • 3) strength based approach (including kids with disabilities)
    • using 1,2, and 3, we can create an equitable education system and future

    • every psychological function begins as a social function
  15. zone of proximal development (zpd)
    the space just beyond a child's actual developmental level and their potential developmental level
  16. cultural tools
    tools that existed before we joined the conversation that we take up and use
  17. Imaginative Play
