Voices from the Field: Asset Framing in Practice
Channel: MIT Teaching Systems Lab
Date: 2021-01-25

In this video, Florida High School teacher Angela Daniel describes how she uses asset framing to support her students to thrive. You’ll hear about her work with one student to help him find his brilliance. Even the name of the course she teaches, Reading for Debate, reflects the school’s commitment to asset framing; it was formerly named Intensive Reading, which stigmatized her students through a deficit lens.
