Week 05: Engage in Risk
Engage in Rethinking Risk
The biggest risk you can take is to not take any risks! Educators are some of the biggest risk takers--they just don't know it! We all need to learn, relearn, adapt, and be agile in the 21st century.
For this module, there is not a discussion forum this week. The goal is to individually reflect on the prompts below:
- Think of a time in which you attempted to change or adapt, or take a risk, and yet you failed.
- What did you learn from this failed attempt?
- How did you react to this failure?
- The greatest learning experiences come from making mistakes and reflecting our failures. Embrace your failures as opportunities to reflect and learn. To fail forward is to use our experiences as a springboard to create future success and happiness.
- Think about how, starting right now, you can fail forward!
