While we may talk a lot about mistakes being okay to make with our students, what is our (honest) opinion about making mistakes ourselves? How honest are we being with our students when we say this?
After reading the introduction, what new thoughts do you have about making mistakes?
Chapter 1 - How have you responded to the different types of mistakes (Figure 1.1, p. 4) that you and your students make? For me, I know that if I make a sloppy mistake, I wish for grace from parents or colleagues, but might not offer that same grace to my students, for the sake of "teaching correct conventions."
What are some insights you have developed from reading the "Acknowledging Impact" and "Shift from Blame to Action" Figures (p. 7, 13)?
