Let’s get real—fear of failure is holding your students back from math. We say "mistakes equal growth," but they don’t buy it and as a result, their fear of being wrong keeps them stuck. In this session, we’re flipping the script on success. I’m going to show you how to help your students embrace failure, redefine what success REALLY means, and use every stumble as a stepping stone to finding meaning and purpose in the classroom. You’ll walk away with a *Failure Toolbox*—a kit full of impactful, actionable strategies to get your students to take risks, fail forward, and learn from every answer, right or wrong. Get ready to turn setbacks into comebacks and totally transform the way your students show up in math class! 

*My approach works in ALL classrooms, so if you're not a math teacher, you are still totally welcome! Come!
