Listen "25. In Our Error Era"
Episode Synopsis
Mistakes happen, but do your learners see mistakes as roadblocks or learning opportunities? As we head into a new school year and work towards building safe and positive classroom environments, we have a chat about the research on error climate in the classroom and explore how students’ perception of mistakes shape their motivation, confidence, and willingness to take risks.We’ll share some practical strategies to help students build their tolerance for errors and consider how our own reactions and responses shape the error climate in our classrooms—often more than we realise!Helpful Links 💡British Journal of Educational Psychology - Error ClimateEdutopia: Growing Students' Mistake ToleranceAPA: The Interplay Between Mistakes and LearningRecording this as PD?
