TEC Insight - Engaging with Failure

Contact Us https://duke.is/b/2my4 --------------------------------------------- Join us, Adam Davidson, Russell Dirgo, and Dr. Hannah Glisson — three engineering educators exploring what it means to teach and inspire in the 21st century. Follow along as we explore innovation in teaching, creativity in engineering, and the future of hands-on education. In this episode, we welcome Hannah to the team and discuss our thoughts on failure as part of the learning process. We share personal experiences and classroom examples of how educators can help students become more comfortable making mistakes, learning from them, and trying again. We also discuss how grades, social expectations, and our own responses to failure shape students’ willingness to take risks and how we can help them build the confidence to keep learning. #LearningFromFailure #GrowthMindset #StudentEngagement #TeachingStrategies #EducationPodcast #TECPod --------------------------------------------- Disclaimer The views, opinions, and experiences of the hosts and guests of this podcast are their own.
