When students are at the edge of their ability, they spend most of their time getting answers wrong. In this session, we will discuss classroom videos, examine systems of belief, review curricula, and develop pedagogies so that teachers can perceive wrong answers as a gift from the student to the class, rather than something to avoid or quickly correct.

This edWebinar will be of interest to K–12 teachers, librarians, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
