Mistakes aren't something to fear; they're a powerful catalyst for learning.
When students experience mistakes as opportunities-rather than obstacles-they participate more, think more creatively, and develop resilience that extends far beyond the classroom. In Learning by Mistake, veteran educator Emma Chiappetta reveals how mistakes prime the brain for deeper learning.
Drawing on current neuroscience research and her own classroom experience, Chiappetta provides 12 practical, field-tested strategies that help build a positive "mistake culture" where errors are valued stepping stones to success.
This accessible guide shows you how to
- Create classroom environments where students feel safe to take intellectual risks.
- Phrase and deliver feedback in a way that builds student confidence.
- Design activities that normalize mistake-making and turn errors into learning opportunities.
- Help students analyze their mistakes and develop metacognitive skills.
- Transform assessment practices to celebrate growth rather than punish imperfection.
From "wrong answers only" icebreakers to collaborative mistake analysis, mistake meetings, and mistake journals, these ready-to-implement strategies work across all grade levels and subject areas.
Whether you're working with apprehensive students to deepen their learning or simply looking to create a more supportive classroom culture, Learning by Mistake provides the tools you need to turn mistake anxiety into curiosity and growth.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
