Happy New Year Cross Creek Educators!
Chapter Five, How Can Students Learn From Failure? is worth reading twice! I must admit I internalized the chapter and kept thinking did I do that? when I was teaching at Cross Creek. I may have worked very hard with students who were in academic jeopardy, but did I have a conversation with them that failure was a “step in the right direction to success?” NO. Did I help them to respond to failure in a POSITIVE (yes, I mean positive) way? NO. Did I build in opportunities for students to learn from the failure or did I just enter the grade and move on? Chapter Five will really make you think about your personal attitudes about students, failure and the possibilities of success born from that failure. Instructions: Read chapter five, click on blog "comments" to answer. Number your answer to correspond with the question. For the application portion, we will meet for 30 minutes after Rounds review on January 25, location TBD, for a fun and interactive demonstration. VETERAN TEACHERS: 1. How did you learn to embrace failure? 2. Describe one way you implement (or will implement) “learning from failure” in your classroom? Beginning Teachers: 1. How did you learn to embrace failure? 2. According to Daniel Pink how do extrinsic rewards in inhibit growth mindset in students? Remember there are cut-off limits, so brevity is the order of the day! If you have questions feel free to contact me. athetford@edumentality or alisonthetford@aol.com. In this hybrid book study teachers will earn a total of 12 hours (1.2 ceu's) for reading each chapter, responding to discussion prompts online, and sharing application of ideas. You will be given no later than (NLT) dates for completing chapters. I want to thank Melissa Storms for giving me much needed help with this study. In growth mindset fashion, I had to experience a little failure in order to become a better blogger.
