Evidence of Growth through EDL 586 Strengths Assignment A: 

Evidence of Growth through EDL 586 Strengths Assignment A A strengths based model versus the “ deficit model ” at Rancho Alamitos High School Most teachers were unaware of either model Currently, Rancho is exploring “ Professional Learning Communities, which demonstrates that the school is re - evaluating their values. It seems that Rancho presently uses a model more aligned with the “ deficit model ” given that the school focuses mostly on student weaknesses not teacher/school weaknesses. The veteran teachers on campus are “ stuck in their ways ” often resisting change, and placing blame on the students. It is apparent that Rancho Alamitos wants to increase student achievement and is exploring more positive values and changes
