Listen "“Have no fear of perfection, you'll never achieve it.” Teach Different with Marie Curie - Achievement"
Episode Synopsis
Should we strive for perfection?
So many of our students feel pressure to be the perfect athlete, student, or friend. This feeling is accompanied by a pervasive fear of failure and the possibility that they might let others down. When we fall short of perfection, students have important decisions to make about whether to keep pursuing it or be okay with something less. The decisions they make shape their sense of self-worth and draw the contours of their relationships.
Join Dan and Steve Fouts for a conversation about achievement using the Teach Different 3-Step Method.
Whether you are a teacher, school leader, or simply someone interested in experiencing the joy and fulfillment of challenging kids with big ideas, join our worldwide Community of Educators FREE for 30 days. Membership includes access to our robust library of resources, conversation plans, and lively discussions among teachers and faculty.
