Listen "Modeling Mistake Making"
Episode Synopsis
Think back to your last big mistake. If you’re like most of us, “grateful” probably isn’t the first word that comes to mind. Mistakes are part of learning. How do we address our own mistakes and model our responses? How do we create a mistakes-welcoming classroom?In her new book, Risk. Fail. Rise. A Teacher’s Guide to Learning from Mistakes, author Colleen Cruz invites us to be more aware of the mistakes we make so we can learn to avoid the unnecessary ones and learn how to respond to useful ones. In turn this will help our classrooms be a place of positive risk-taking and productive failure for all students.We started our conversation with Colleen by asking how she approaches such a daunting topic as our mistakes.© Heinemann Publishing 2020See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
