Mistakes are a normal part of the learning process, and they give us valuable information about what students know and understand. Yet many students still fear getting it wrong in the classroom. This article details five ways one teacher is creating a safe space for her students to make mistakes – and, crucially, how she and they are learning to learn from them.
