Freedom To Fail: How Do I Foster Risk-Taking And Innovation In My Classroom? (Ascd Arias)

In The Freedom to Fail, veteran educator Andrew K. Miller explains the many benefits of intentionally designing opportunities for students to "fail forward" in the classroom. He provides a raft of strategies for ensuring that students experience small, constructive failures as a means to greater achievement, and offers practical suggestions for ensuring that constructive failure doesn't detrimentally affect students' summative assessments. He also describes how teachers, too, can benefit from failure. Establishing a culture that embraces the freedom to fail helps students to adopt a growth mindset, take risks in the service of greater learning, and develop realistic expectations of what it takes to succeed in the world at large. If we deliberately let our students fail in small ways today, we can help to ensure that they'll triumph in a big way tomorrow. 9781416620389 1416620389 47 Education NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=JEUtCgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
