Asset-based teaching (BAT) is a new approach to teaching that focuses on the use of assets, such as ideas, knowledge, and skills, to build skills and knowledge. This can be done through interviews, surveys, or by engaging in focus groups.
In this article, we will discuss three steps that can be taken in order to develop an ABT plan. We will also provide an example of a plan that was developed in a classroom setting.
1. Identify the needs of the class
To develop an ABT plan, educators must first identify the needs of their class. Once the needs of the class have been identified, educators must begin to develop a strategy for using assets to meet those needs.
2. Identify the assets that will be used
Once the needs of the class have been identified, identify the assets that will be used to meet those needs. Once the assets that will be used have been determined, it is then necessary to develop a plan for using those assets to meet the needs of the class.
3. Develop a plan
Once the assets that will be used have been identified, it is then necessary to develop a plan for using those assets to meet the needs of the class. Once the plan has been developed, it is then necessary to test the plan by implementing it in a classroom setting.
