Every teacher has a lesson they would rather not talk about.
The one that fell apart in front of thirty people. The field trip that went sideways. The unit you were certain about until roughly four minutes in.
We tell students that failure is part of learning, and then we go quiet about our own. The flop rarely makes it into the staff room conversation, so everyone assumes theirs are the only ones.
Fail Forward is a short course about what to do with a setback, rather than how to avoid having one. Practical rather than philosophical, and built for people whose work means trying things in front of an audience.
Who it is for
Teachers at any stage, school and district leaders, mentors, and anyone whose job involves taking a risk in front of other people. Useful whether the setback was last week or three years ago and still sitting there.
What is included
One video lesson: a welcome, three core lessons and a closing wrap-up. Fail Forward Field Notes, a companion workbook, with a bonus Challenge & Adaptation Planner. A Certificate of Completion recognizing approximately one hour of professional learning.
Forty-five to sixty minutes in total, video and workbook combined. Self-paced, and yours to keep and come back to.
