Constructive failure results from the rare blend of careful planning, a willingness to take risks, and the universe’s sense of humor. In my teaching days, I used to fail constructively in the classroom all the time. I’d spend weeks preparing a really nifty role-play or simulation, only to have it fall flat in class. It was annoying, but I wasn’t wrong to try it....
Truth be told, many of the most successful teaching moments I had were refinements of earlier failures. The breakthroughs required the failures.
As usual, Dean Dad is insightful and wise. I wish all deans were like him.
