    Embracing failure as a student

    We talk about failing in education all the time. It's part of the process of learning. As teachers, we believe that it is important to fail and overcome it. Do we know what its like from a student perspective? In part II of our series on failure, Todd and Deb Lawlor interview Drexel junior and TEDx Lebow speaker, Danielle Senour about having perspective and how she overcame failure. Todd also talks to two of his high school students on success versus failure and what their perspectives are. It is important for educators to understand what their students think.
