Teaching the Skills of Resilience
Join us for our next webinar!
This is part of our free “Resilient Educator” webinar series.
“Building the Confidence to Try: Helping Students Move Through Fear of Failure”
A student who avoids a difficult assignment, stays quiet in class, or says “I don’t care” may be trying to protect themselves from the possibility of getting it wrong. Fear of failure can grow from many experiences: repeated setbacks, pressure to meet expectations, worry about being judged, or feeling that mistakes prove they aren’t capable. For some students, the fear is also tied to anxiety, low confidence, or past experiences that have made school feel unsafe.
Join Christian Moore for an open conversation with educators about helping students move through fear of failure and build the confidence to try. Drawing on his own experiences, his work as a licensed clinical social worker, and his background in resilience, Christian will share examples and ideas educators can use to support students who feel stuck, discouraged, or afraid to get it wrong.
