The F Word

Hopefully my title got your attention.
The F word I'm referring to is not something you'll see etched in a bathroom stall.  It's FAILURE.

I just read an online article on Edutopia called "Making Friends with Failure" by Ainissa Ramirez.  In the article, Ramirez says, "Failure makes you a better, stronger, and wiser human being." I think you should take some time and read the full article to learn the author's thoughts on encouraging our students to take academic risks in order for them to become better students.  Ramirez is a proponent of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) focused tasks to help in that process.
