For years in education, we’ve described students using a deficit based approach. I think back to my classroom days, and each year, my class list would include the number of “special education students” and “basic skills students.” This approach still exists in many schools and districts. We categorize most students by their deficits and what’s wrong rather than their strengths, knowledge, abilities and capacities.
