Debbie Zacarian's "Teaching to Strengths" (2017) advocates for educators to shift from a deficit-based to a strengths-based approach when working with students impacted by trauma, violence, and chronic stress. The book emphasizes identifying and nurturing students' inherent assets and the "funds of knowledge" that families bring. It provides practical strategies for creating inclusive classroom environments, fostering positive student-teacher and peer relationships, and engaging families as valuable partners. Furthermore, the text stresses the importance of building school-wide collaborative teams and community partnerships grounded in recognizing and valuing the strengths of all stakeholders to better support these students. Ultimately, the work champions a positive and empowering perspective that focuses on students' capabilities and resilience.
