Abstract
Although we’ve been taught to think that some students are below average, average, or above average, we don’t have to believe it. Imagine, for example, that educators believed talent is present in every single human. Now imagine that based on that conviction, educators invited every student into opportunities to discover and develop their particular excellence. If we really believe every human being has talent and potential that can’t be relegated to simple measurement, we may need to reconsider how we think about what edu-cation looks like. Let’s reformat learning environments to be laboratories of self-discovery where students have the gift of finding their brilliance.
