The problem with the educational deficit model approach is that it first identifies areas of concern or potential challenges that may impact academic performance. Maybe it is time to work harder on ourselves and rethink our education system starting with each child and his, her, or their many assets as well as needs and vulnerabilities. Equity is not about making all children “normal” or “perfect” in some measurable way. It is rather about seeing each student as the gift they already are and starting from there.
