A1 I have had to really work on changing my perception of failure, but at this point I would have to say it is one of the best ways to learn, try, fail, fix it, succeed! #wcstechchat
A2: Be open and share your experiences with one another. Don't be embarrassed - more than likely we have similar experiences that we've learned from that will help someone else. #wcstechchat
A2 I think that by being ambassadors of change and making it known that in order to succeed, learn, and grow one has to fail. We simply have to teach people not to give up when they don't get it right away. #wcstechchat
A2 Allow Ss opportunities to grow from their mistakes, reflect on what they could do differently and then re-do assignments. Adopt a "no-fail" mentality. #wcstechchat
A3 this is a great teachable moment for students. When they see you "roll with the punches" they learn that it is ok. Main thing is to own it! #wcstechchat
A4 Find ways to reach your Ss so they find motivation to complete their work. Zeros don't contribute to anything. They need to learn the content, show they've learned it, and learn responsibility. #wcstechchat
A4 I think that can be a slippery slope. It truly depends on the situation, but I strongly believe failure to try is much different than failure to succeed. #wcstechchat
A5 Nobody wants to look silly or ill prepared. We have to help our Ss and Ts understand that fear is good, but shouldn't hold them back from trying. #wcstechchat
A4. It depends. personally I would not give a zero because Ss can give up and not even try. You cannot put someone in a hole they cannot come out of #WCSTechChat
A5 I see Ss who feel like they just can't succeed and they give up. We need to support these students and let them know that we ALL own that failure and we have the potential to turn it into a success. #wcstechchat
A6 Share our experiences of failure with our Ss and how we've used that to learn and grow. Ss look up to us - they will be interested to hear how Ts make mistakes and how we bounce back from them. #wcstechchat
A6 Stop being afraid of failing in front of Ss. They need to see that even with planning and preparation things don't always work, but don't give up, never let that be an option. #wcstechchat#dontgiveup
A7 In all seriousness, what I have learned is that I only make myself better at what I do if I am willing to risk failing and embrace the consequences as they come. Hiding behind what is comfortable does not help you grow. #wcstechchat
