One way to be culturally responsive is to assess where you fall on the Rosenthal Effect scale. The Rosenthal Effect (aka Pygmalion Effect) discusses the power of expectations.

My graduate program tells me I will get answers wrong if I "mispronounce" the word, "Dysphagia." I've been pronouncing the word as "dis-fah-juh." But I've heard people pronounce as "dis-fay-juh."

Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!"

Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!

Praxis® mistake #1: You don’t have a set study plan! Having a study plan will keep you on the right track toward your goals! Although it might seem tedious, establish and following a study plan will keep you accountable and ease uncertainty.

Be sure to tell your favorite Praxis® prepper!
