Freedom to Fail - How do I foster risk-taking and innovation in my classroom?

In Freedom to Fail, veteran educator Andrew K. Miller explains the many benefits
of intentionally designing opportunities for students to "fail forward" in the
classroom. He provides a raft of strategies for ensuring that students experience small, constructive failures as a means to greater achievement, and offers practical suggestions for ensuring that constructive failure doesn't detrimentally affect students' summative assessments. He also describes how teachers, too, can benefit from failure.

Establishing a culture that embraces the freedom to fail helps students to
adopt a growth mindset, take risks in the service of greater learning, and
develop realistic expectations of what it takes to succeed in the world at large. If we deliberately let our students fail in small ways today, we can help to ensure that they'll triumph in a big way tomorrow.
