<p>In Unit 0, Rich introduced a set of educator mindsets that he and other education researchers have developed as a toolkit for helping teachers look at students, communities, and classrooms. In Unit 2, we will explore the <em>Asset versus Deficit mindset</em> and how educators all over the country have helped students see the very best in themselves by shining a light on their strengths.

<p>As always, we hope your learning is applicable to your role immediately and so we will practice identifying and drawing on students’ assets in your own context through the lens of Jeremy again, whom you met in Unit 1, in a practice space called <em>Coach Wright</em>. </p>
<h3><strong>In Unit 2, you'll find: </strong></h3>
