Shifting the Paradigm

 

• What does this concept of asset-based thinking mean to you?
• It means to meet students where they are and working/focusing on their strengths to grow them rather than trying to “fix” them.
• Come with three questions about the concept of asset-based thinking:
• Asset based thinking focuses on the strengths an individual already possesses, does this hold back a student from uncovering new strengths?
• Is it possible to apply asset-based thinking fully?
• How do you implement asset-based thinking correctly in order to build them also in their weaknesses without focusing on what students lack?
• How does this text relate to the real world?
