Sinopsis

In Freedom to Fail, veteran educator Andrew K. Miller explains the many benefitsof intentionally designing opportunities for students to 'fail forward' in theclassroom. 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 toadopt a growth mindset, take risks in the service of greater learning, anddevelop 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.
