Change: Deficit
View of Learners

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Looking back on your school years, were you ever told that a certain subject or skill wasn’t your thing? Statements like this can have a profound and sometimes lifelong impact on how we view ourselves. 

In our chat with Chantelle, she draws attention to both obvious and not-so-obvious environments where deficit views are imposed on learners, and gives insight into how we can start creating positive change.
