The Right Kind of Wrong - Supporting Our Students in Purposeful Failure
Tuesday, January 28th at 10:00 AM
In this webinar presented by Jay Gosselin, coach, facilitator, speaker, and founder of MentorU and Discover Year, we will delve into the psychology of failure and resilience. Resilience is like a muscle - it needs to be exercised to get stronger. As Guidance educators, supporting our students through the failures and success in their lives, is something that we do on a regular basis. As adults, we understand that some failure is essential for human growth and development, but many times, this is a difficult concept for our students to adopt. At the same time, we don't want to encourage our students to make unnecessary, careless mistakes. In this session, we will explore various types of failures and share strategies that can help students to get comfortable with failure while striving for success.
Learning outcomes:
- Outline different types of failure as identified in research in psychology
- Explore ways to support students in embracing useful failures and lifelong learning
