  • PapaBacher Jun 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: Failing implies lack of growth. Failing forward implies applying the next level of reflection: Learn from your failures #TXed
  • SIOWehmeyer Jun 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2 success often doesn't come without huge failures. It's my hope to learn from every stumble and get better! When I stumble, I learn #txed
  • LariLiner Jun 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A1 Biggest fear is not taking a risk and being comfortable. We need to take risks for our staff and students. #txed
  • terrieichholz Jun 21 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    To be honest I don't like the word "failing." I'd rather say learning from my mistakes than failing forward. #TXed

    A2: Much about failure has been misconstrued. We all have to fail and get back up to learn; everything else is automaticity #TXed
  • TechieTeachOtt Jun 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Failing IS the path forward! If I never failed in my life, I would never be where I am. Our students NEED failure #TXed

    A2 If we try and fail, we actually move forward. By not trying at all, we stay stagnant, or even go backwards #txed
  • lori_lreyes Jun 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    #TXed A1-not teaching the content thoroughly
  • joshua_r_eyler Jun 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT

  • stella_herrera Jun 21 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2-Failing forward to me means accept the failure, learn from it & moving forward w/newly acquired knowledge to improve future action.#TxEd
  • sandeeteach Jun 21 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2 Sometimes I really don't like the word, FAIL. It sounds too permanent. Mishaps, mistakes, blunders, etc. help us to grow/learn #txed
  • kaylaswonke Jun 21 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2-using failure as a lesson and motivation to not giving up and to work even harder #TXed

    A2) As an admin I must be willing to help foster a culture where I may have to spend my own "capital" to support experimental failure. #Txed
