PTF Think Tank: Learning from Failure

Event Status

PTF logo

Think Tanks, facilitated by the Provost's Teaching Fellows, invite instructors to discuss problems and tackle tough topics in a safe environment among a diverse group of fellow instructors.

We've all heard the phrase "Fail Forward" or "I have not failed, but just found 10,000 ways that won't work," but how much does that resonate in the classroom? Is there a way to teach, providing opportunities for safe failures without being punitive or negatively impacting the grade? After a bazillion years of teaching, I think so and look forward to having a fruitful conversation on cultivating an environment ripe for teaching, failing, and learning.

This Think Tank will be facilitated by Ruth Shear (CNS). All instructors are welcome!
