Show Summary:“Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it is the only one we have.” - Émile-Auguste Chartier, French philosopherAfter many class discussions of failure, social-emotional learning (SEL), and upstairs/downstairs brain, one of Claire’s 6th grade students asked, “Why do you think that [failure is] required? If you’re successful the first time, why isn’t that a victory? Why is failure necessary? Why do you HAVE to fail?” Taking this personally as an engineer, Claire mulled this over and found the quote above as she began examining how to better explain this to her students. Tune in as Natasha details her most recent NSTA Conference venture (and how teachers fared compared to the engineering class in a prior episode) and Claire tells the truth about why you need more than one idea.Links from the Show:NSTA ConferenceNSTA ConferencesNatasha 2022 NSTA photos <from the Vivify Instagram>SEECSEEC (Space Exploration Educators Conference)Natasha & Claire at SEEC 2022 <from the Vivify Instagram>Claire’s Giant Moon MapBring Space Club to Your School!
