A1: I always like to make the classroom feel like a place for practice and tell students it's always okay to make mistakes. Some of my most significant learning moments are from times I've made mistakes and I want my students to be okay learning from theirs too. #TEDEdChat
A1 Mistakes are proof we are trying. Model making mistakes for students. Talk through your answer and let students help you find the answer. #tededchat
A1 Creating completion assignments which reward risk taking. I d/n care if the answer is wrong but I do care if you won’t try giving an answer. #TEDEdChat
A1: Share personal stories of how one of your own failures/mistakes turned into a success. Students love to connect with their teachers on a personal level. It puts teacher and student on a level playing field. #TEDEdChat
A1 the use of formative assessment and peer assessment. Although it still takes time to set up the environment for these to be safe exercises. #tededchat
A1: In my writing class, we have workshop days where students read each other's work. They are asked to question, comment, and suggest rather than edit. It's low pressure, but still offers a way to improve. #TEDEdChat#TSUEnglishMAE

A1 misakes are an essential part of learning. As adults in front of kids, we must fearlessly do what we expect them to do... take risks, reflect and learn from our mistakes. Debrief #tededchat
A1: Kids need to know that the end is not the end or the most important part. They will learn more from mistakes along the way than from correct answers day one. If they can already do it, why do we have them in class? #tededchat
Agree, metacognition is an important skill to develop early. Self reflective learners see mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures #TEDEdChat

A1: Unfortunately, traditional grading structures prohibit effective iteration without consequences. Increasing feedback opportunities and formative evaluations take the stess off "having to get it right the first time" #TEDEdchat
This is a great formula for optimal learning! As Ts we can multiply the impact by intentionally sharing our process of moving from mistake to iteration to ultimate conclusion either + or - #tededchat
A1: Creating a classroom culture conducive to building on our mistakes that we as Ts work so hard to build with our students. Trying something new and failing is the first step in the learning process! #TEDEdChat
A1) Keep encouraging and believing in them! Celebrate success & progress no matter how small. Praise the growth they make along the way and not just the end product or correct answer! #TedEdchat

Anxiety clearly plays such a huge role in limiting S learning. So glad to see the movement to #SBG and #Mastery as more realistic assessment of what Ss know and what they can do. #TEDEdChat
A1 one of the best learning experiences I did this year focused on stuck strategies and collaboration. The process of learning from mistakes was literally the whole point. Ss loved it and it set up the rest of the year beautifully. #tededchat
We don’t need grades in the process- only the “culmination”. When you hit a bucket of balls before a round of golf, you don’t add the practice to your score. Why grade Ss practice !?#TEDEdChat
A2 I found using 3-2-1 to be a great way. Rich question; kids had three words, two questions; one metaphor to get across their ideas. Best answers I've ever had! #tededchat
A2: let Ss brainstorm all the different ways that communication happens now. The list seems to grow every day. Have them figure out which would be the most effective. #TEDEdChat
I think every student has their own perception of what is considered a mistake. But it is how we teach them to react to their perceived mistake that matters. #TEDEdChat

A2: When sharing ideas, I encourage students to consider the audience they want to reach and then select the product/medium that best reaches those individuals. #TEDEdChat
A2) Allow them to have input on the way their ideas are evaluated. Perhaps give them the choice of how they can present materials/ideas. Paper vs. Presentation, etc. #TEDEdchat
A2: My favorite projects is a multimodal project at the semester's end. Students can write in any style (poem, prose, letter, list), and combine it with tactile materials (mix-cds, crafts, found objects) and then present it. It feels like show/ tell, but reveals more. #TEDEdChat
Tech and reflective inquiry that make authentic use of everyday ways of communication that we use in 2017. I know my Ss can make a ppt, but pushing them to turn those ideas into a published book? A podcast? A blog? Options=Endless #TEDEdChat
A2: Provide students with various types of assessment so they can find a way to communicate that works best for them: writing, performing, creating, composing, etc. Also give students multiple chances to voice their ideas #TEDEdChat
A2 Instead of answering Qs about a text, ask them to create a response (story, poem, PowerPoint, tweet). Ts should be clear about goal - analysis or regurgitation? #TEDEdChat
A2 Model different strategies to communicate such as drawing pictures and continued questioning and then let students decide which works best for them #tededchat
#TEDEdChat Q3 Ask Ss if they grow from mistakes, they'll say yes. Ask them how, or what they do differently after and they go blank... We need to trigger metacognition
Teachers need to facilitate student voice. Model, guide, and let go. Students have plenty to say. Just need guidance on how to express their voice. #TEDEdChat
A3) Be a thoughtful listener! Listen with the intent to understand and not to reply! Make each of them the main focus even for just a few minutes a day! #TEDEdchat
A few schools in the UK have a dedicated person, or Research Lead, as a point of communication for staff looking for new research. Is this a common role in North America? #TEDEdChat

Q3 We have a huge hand in building the future. Role models outside of school don't always show appropriate ways to use your voice. We must teach students how to speak up by empowering them to facilitate discussion and debate in a safe way. #tededchat
A3: A huge role! One way is to focus on collaboration through multiple modes of expression allow Ss to share according to needs instead of narrow criteria #TEDEdChat

A3: As an admin, I need to look for more opportunities to involve students in decisions and our communication. Why aren't they reading announcements (nobody listens to the adults), creating podcasts to tell our story, working on web site, etc. #tededchat
We as Ts have the power to be the bridge between Ss voices and the community at large. Giving the space to talk, providing g publishing opportunities, and simply listening to their thoughts help them feel valued. #TEDEdChat

A3: I feel the educator's role is to serve as both a coach and a cheerleader. Guide students into ways they can speak for themselves and teach them that it's good to share ideas. Encourage Ss through praise so they know their ideas are meaningful #TEDEdChat
A3 Ask Ss to suggest feedback on class structure & follow up with changes or with conversation. Listening is hard to demonstrate but essential for buy-in. #TEDEdChat
Little kids are willing to make mistakes because that is how humans learn. As they grow up, some of them start believing making mistakes is "wrong" and avoid it at all costs. Change this culture, and learning will happen again. #TEDEdChat
Culture, culture, culture! We must help create a culture where voices, successes, and effort are valued. Guiding our Ss to see the validity and importance of their voice is a MUST. #TEDEdChat

The biggest mistake you can ever make is being too afraid to make one. Taking a wrong turn in a road sometimes lead to unexplored paths and a great scenic route! #TEDEdChat
A3: again, teachers can empower students to find their voice by modelling it. A teacher who displays purpose, integrity and authenticity will inspire students to emulate these traits #TEDEdChat
You folks have been AWESOME! Thanks for letting me join your chat tonight, and I look forward to learning from all the new friends I followed. See you next time! #tededchat
#TEDEdChat Q4 I fear they will shut down. I don't like failing, so why do I expect my students would enjoy it? Unless they have a plan predicting possible failure where they succeed it's very easy to lose #self-efficacy.
A4) That it will be a reflection on my teaching. Somehow if my Ss fail then I will be seen as a failure as I couldn't teach them the concepts. #TEDEdchat
A4: My biggest fear is that Ss will lose their willingness to take chances. Failure is so often viewed w a negative connotation. Failure can cause Ss to go back to the “way I always have.” Failure precedes growth! #TEDEdChat
A4 My biggest fear is that the failure will take Ss down the wrong path...We must encourage productive struggle and perseverance through difficult tasks. Failure is inevitable but the lesson they will learn will make the difference. #TEDEdChat#educ570
A4 my biggest fear is not being able to show them how to improve on those mistakes or watching them disconnect from school #TEDEdChat#ssvpln@OSUSocStudies
Fail =First Attempt in Learning -// but aside from that -I think making the mistakes leads to growth - and of course contributes to the development of Grit. #tededchat
A4: My biggest fear as an educator is that the environment in my classroom, where failure is seen as an avenue for learning, will be overshadowed by a culture that puts so much pressure on individuals to always be correct. Mistakes do not hinder future success #TEDEdChat

A4 That they might not get the full lesson. Just failing is different from learning from failure. Latter is essential to learning; former is accepting limitations. Not enough days in a school year, not enough voices to clarify this lesson. #TEDEdChat
A4- My biggest fear is for my students to think I failed them. As an admissions counselor, many students look to me for guidance. I am always wondering what more can I do to help them, especially if they do not have the guidance at home. #TEDEdChat#educ570
A4 My fears: There is not enough follow through to teach students there is learning through failure and their we lose confidence. Misconceptions in seeing the initial failure rather than measuring progress over time. #tededchat
