Join teachers and educationalists for #ukedchat each Thursday between 8-9 pm GMT for Edu chat. Education news, resources, and @UKEdSch website with @UKEdMag
We know how hard it is to keep on top of all the changes in #Education! That's why we've summed up the key information from #KCSIE into a short, concise, free article - so that you can get up-to-speed in minutes!

#ukedchat A1 I learnt not to dwell on mistakes... everyone makes them, so embrace them, suck it up, learn from it, try not to do it again. That’s how we progress!

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 ⚽️⚽️😢

A1 The Chinese sign for "crisis" consists of two parts: "danger" and "chance". Well, that is what I, #ukedchat, have personally learnt from failure: take that chance, because without failure you wouldn't have had it!

As a headteacher, promoting failure as a step towards progress was important. But honestly - it can be the hardest thing of all to admit to making them. Guess I'm a product of a 'no failure allowed' education! #ukedchat

A2 Definitely a big focus this year. Some children respond postively but a lot of children try to cover their mistakes and find it v.difficult to admit to making them #UKEdChat

#UKEdChat A2: It’s nothing to be scared of! My HT told me my classroom is a fear free zone when mistakes/failure are involved which I’m really proud of! The chd know they won’t be perfect at everything but know they can learn from mistakes and failure.

Failure is part of life, it’s no big deal. Students just realise they need to learn it in more detail so become more engaged in the learning through discussions, examples and questions #ukedchat

#UKEdChat A2 Spent a lot of time over the last few years changing students mindsets in that they think anything less than a C or new 4 is a failure...if your target was Entry Level and you got a grade 3, you 'aint no failure. Students need to put it into context.

It really does take a massive culture shift, doesn't it. You can see the distress sometimes. Especially true of those who don't typically fail often. #ukedchat

A1. With the right mindset, a failure is a blessing in disguise. With the wrong mindset it’s the beginning of a dark path that’s difficult to get out of. #UKEdChat

A2 It's natural that children want to succeed and its always interesting to note the children who really struggle with failure. It's something children are growing used to in school as society realises its true value. #ukedchat

A2 For an incorrect answer we talk about what went wrong. Mistakes / failures are seen as an opportunity to learn. Sometimes chn reach the right answer but may have done it incorrectly and you will never know. Mistakes are so revealing and intriguing. #UKEdChat

#UKEdChat A2 My students are all #SEMH, so generally have cripplingly low self esteem, I actually plan for them to fail (a bit, not epically) to get them used to it being part of the learning/development process.

#UKEdChat A3: the only failure I find unacceptable is failure to try. Give it a go, try it, put some effort in. But then that usually signals an underlying issue!

A2 I have a huge ‘Fail Forward’ sign at the front of my class and we read about a ‘famous failure’ once a week(ish). Some really do struggle with the concept though. #UKEdChat

A3, if I’m not fully prepped, I think I have failed the children. That is not true. We must look at the big picture as basically life gets in the way. #UKEdchat

Q2 #UKedchat Pupils bring a range of experiences re how failure is viewed at home. The school needs to give teachers direction on how to enable to turn a potentially negative experience into a positive one - and a life skill

A3 I think a big issue here is typecasting. Children are intuitive and soon learn who fails and how they deal with it. Tacking that typecasting has been important. Failing to give another chance - that's not acceptable. #UKEdchat

A3 simply failing to give something a go. Can’t give any feedback to a blank page - though if there is the rare blank page it’s usually indicative of me over-estimating ability/not planning as effectively as I could #UKEdChat

#UKEdChat A3 Failure to safeguard students and staff. Unacceptable. From failing to challenge physical/emotional bullying to failing to report an issue - no matter how trivial it might seem. Failure to support students primary needs is up there too.

A3: Failure to be honest - I don’t mind if they don’t want to try, so long as they are honest about it. Allows for much more progressive discussion #ukedchat

A4 Ideal world here - pupils are encouraged to learn from their mistakes and use them to improve. I'm sure though, the scrutiny from upon high at times has a trickled own impact. If you fail, then I fail and he fails and the school fails... #UKEdchat

A2 failure is all around in my kids minds. Not eating breakfast. Being given an option to take a time out. Not liking their lunch. We try to focus on acknowledging behaviour and creating solutions rather than admonishing #UKEdChat

The better question is how we approach success. I've recently come to the revelation that I keep giving children next steps etc and never just celebrating their achievement. Through careful qualitative research we found that children associated next steps with failure. #ukedchat

True. I also mean from the perspective of teachers, there may be a pressure in outcomes for e.g. to demonstrate that every mistake led to a satisfying step of progress. I've known book monitoring where that's been a thing. "Here's a mistake, where did you rectify it?" #UKEdchat

There’s an excellent book by @matthewsyed called ‘you are awesome’ full of examples (his other book ‘bounce’ is equally great and has loads of case studies). Also love this speech by the man Denzel https://t.co/1eXgHceLuF#UKEdChat

A4 We're trying to celebrate mistakes as important learning opportunities. We're also trying to provide more opportunities for children to revisit things they got wrong, for example by repeating the same investigation and learning from previous 'failings'. #ukedchat

A1 I have learnt that failure is necessary to grow. We learn from mistakes and that if we're not making mistakes, perhaps we're playing too safe. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. #ukedchat

A2 As much as we can, we celebrate failure in our class. We use it as a teaching tool, highlighting misconceptions and discuss as a class. My children understand that failure often comes with learning, and that if we're not failing, perhaps we're not learning. #UKEdChat

One thing I’ve done before is ask my kids to find as many mistakes as they can. Ones who spotted most received praise for noticing, bravery, improvement #UKEdchat
A6 Perfect in our society gets in the way of progress. If it isn't perfect, it isn't perceived as valuable. I think the point here is not that we're celebrating failure; more that we're undoing the damage that the media portrays: "failure is not an option". #UKEdchat

A4 The attitude in our school is changing. We're having a big focus on celebrating mistakes and this in turn is encouraging more participation and risk taking. The children are becoming more supportive of the efforts of others. #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

A8. I don’t see how only more able students can ‘afford’ to make mistakes more occasionally. I’ve had children in my class below ARE who have surpassed their peers due to their ability to recognise their failures and understand how to improve a second time round. #ukedchat

A8 Definitely not. As a more able pupil, the first time I properly failed was at college - I wasn't prepared for it and it really upset me. Failure at a younger age and knowing how to cope is important for all children no matter what their prior attainment was. #UKEdChat
