  1. Excellent personal definition of the word cultural deficit! Remember that a cultural deficit perspective lies within the teacher not the students. To reflect this your sentence might read:
    Austin's teacher viewed him as culturally deficit because his background was different than the background of the other students.

  2. Thank you for the correction of my sentence. I realized after the discussion in the next class that mine was incorrect.
