Discuss an alternative approach to helping students

Reference no: EM133421915

With deficit thinking, our education system tends to focus on what students "lack" and how we can "fix them" based on dominant culture ideas and standards for success. Discuss an alternative approach to helping students succeed which would be more effective and equitable than deficit thinking. Make sure you explain why your alternative approach is more effective than the deficit thinking model (for instance--how does it recognize student diversity, how does it eliminate stereotyping of students, how is it more inclusive of student strengths and abilities).

Post one original reflection on the question above and two separate follow up responses to posts made by other students.

Posts should be one to two paragraphs long.
Both your post and your responses to peers must engage with relevant course concepts from that week's lesson and assigned reading.
Be explicit in engaging course concepts in your discussions by using the terminology and ideas.
Make sure to provide any citations of sources used including course lessons and the OER in APA format.
