“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
- Winston Churchill

I have since changed my tune about failure. In a recent article in The Chronicle for Higher Education, Creative Ways to Help Students Recover from Failure, author Raynard S. Kington, President of Grinnell College, says, “The risk of failure — that we might not ‘get it’ — is the price we pay for the gift of new knowledge, and knowledge is at the core of our mission and our efforts to make the world a better place.”
Our challenge as educators is to help students understand this. Are there ways that you help students over the failure hurdle?
