100% agree. Learners fail forward and have a growth mindset and are comfortable with the uncomfortable in the learning pit.

Failure is an incredible learning experience. It teaches you humility. It teaches you to work harder. It is the first step to understanding.

The circle is complete: I’m back at @Sydney_Uni, where I became a maths teacher, to build the next generation of maths teachers! “Professor of Practice” sounds fancy, but it mainly means that I’ll bring my currency as a @NSWEducation teacher & leader (which I remain) to the uni.
