    Don’t tell your class of 30 that you’re going to collect data from a penalty shootout so they can create a bar graph WITHOUT checking how many footballs your school actually has (3, we had 3 footballs...it took a while!) Lesson: check resources before planning #UKEdChat ⚽️⚽️😢

    A7 I think in a lesson when we celebrate a failure it is done with the notion that we can learn from recognising it is a failure. It is a learning and teaching point. After addressing the failure, it can lead to deeper learning which could help with exam success. #UKEdChat

    A6 I think the celebration of mistakes needs to be given a context. If the children understand that mistakes can be used to learn and develop, then it can be helpful. If children give up, or don't learn from their mistakes, then this could be seen as failure. #ukedchat
