Beskrivning
Even the best, most accomplished teachers make (sometimes big) mistakes. But as the experts and authority figures in their classrooms, teachers face myriad pressures to have all the answers and, in some cases, to work miracles. This book brings together first-hand stories from classrooms across the globe of hard-won lessons stemming from teachers’ mistakes and failures both small and colossal to show how becoming expert actually necessitates failure. It’s through their mistakes that the most successful people arrive at greatness. Failure Before Success brings together accounts from everyone from a world-renowned Finnish education scholar and global policy advisor to distinguished professors of education to veteran teachers with decades of experience working in the complex field of teaching. While there are silver bullet books for teachers on the market, none match the comfort Failure Before Success offers by telling the stories of how some of the most accomplished in the field got it wrong and turned their mistakes into their greatest lessons on teaching excellence.

Mer om författaren

Julie Warner, EdD, left the classroom fewer than 10 years ago—close enough that she can still vividly remember her first few rocky years with their emotional and logistical landmines, but long enough to have had a career in education since then that includes obtaining a doctorate in education from Teachers College, Columbia University, stints as an Education Policy Advisor in the U.S. Senate and the White House, and overseeing the teacher issues portfolio within the U.S. Department of Education’s internal think tank. Even as she’s advised on high-level policy decisions in education, she’s always stayed close to the classroom: she’s a National Board Certified Teacher, has published books on teaching with technology, and is an education journalist for Course Hero’s Faculty Club, one of the top 250 sites on the web.

Recensioner i media

In this collection, Warner, a National Board Certified Teacher, former education policy advisor in the U.S. Senate and White House, and education journalist, compiles an international array of accounts that encapsulate firsthand the mistakes and failures (both big and small) of educators on a global scale to demonstrate that to become an expert, one first needs to fail. To underscore this point in her introduction, Warner dismisses the notion of “perfect teaching” as a myth and instead claims that veteran educators learn from their mistakes. The following chapters illustrate that educators need to be aware of and accept their mistakes and failures, and Warner advises analytical reflection to mitigate the negative aspects of failure. The volume deftly provides a path for educators to learn from their mistakes while identifying a simple set of knowledge and skills for all educators to use to ensure they have a successful, healthful, and positive impact on their students. This is a must-read for novice and experienced educators desiring the wisdom to derive meaning from their mistakes and to continue to change and grow for their students. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
