Failure Without Fear: An educator's guide to supporting all students (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995978256)

Nobody wants to fail, and NOBODY wants to be considered a failure. But what if we reimagined failure as something positive? As merely an essential part of experimentation? What if our education system thought about failure the way inventors do? Or as Thomas A. Edison once put it, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Failure Without Fear proposes that failure should be viewed as an opportunity, and that the consequence of failure shouldn't be a poor grade, it should be growth. Author Chad Reay encourages us to fearlessly alter our perceptions of, and relationship with, failure so that we don't set young people on the wrong foot, believing that they should succeed from the get-go rather than failing many times first. This book is essential reading for parents, educators, and anyone else who needs to be liberated from the paralysis of fearing to fail instead of daring to try.
