We all have had that lesson that has not gone the way we anticipated: we set high goals for our students, and whether because of delivery or circumstances out of our control, the lesson failed. We also struggle with failures as we aim to inspire and motivate our students, create engaging lessons, and cultivate a positive learning environment. These failures can be challenging to navigate, but they also present valuable opportunities for growth and self-improvement. As educators, we can work to learn from our mistakes as tools for increased growth and learning. One solution is to focus on developing higher levels of self-efficacy.
