Reading this piece via @chrkennedy - "The first job of a teacher is to make the student fall in love with the subject...there’s all sorts of ways to go at it, but no matter what, you are a symbol of the subject in the students’ minds." https://t.co/OdIpzhnZ9z
How to help your students feel comfortable taking on challenges, even if they might fail:
1. Celebrate perseverance.
2. Share your mistakes.
3. Allow retakes.
4. Discover 'the power of yet.'
5. Note the failures of successful people.
