Great post! I also appreciated the many suggestions on how to carry it forward into actual practice. Although it’s not directly related to teaching when I’ve talked about this with students I’ll share the Museum of Failure as a real-world example https://museumoffailure.com/

Great post. I use the term ‘glorious failure’. Though I’d now like to ban the use of the word ‘failure’ altogether! Essential that assessment focuses on and rewards the learning from the so-called ‘failure’ rather than penalising the actual ‘failure’.

Love this, thanks for the thoughtful post. I’ve tried some of these ideas but appreciate having a reminder and a few examples of other ideas to try.

Wanted to share this resource from MIT called Flipping Failure that I think is genius. Shows how to embrace failure and tell the story of how it’s shaped us. https://flippingfailure.mit.edu

Thanks for mentioning it, Josh! I knew about it but forgot to include it.
