Description

This Teacher Resource Guide accompanies The Power of Trying Again Junior poster, part of the Wild Teak Studio Thriving Classroom Series.

Designed for teachers working with children aged 6–10, the guide offers practical ways to introduce and explore the five steps of learning from mistakes, helping children respond positively to setbacks, overcome frustration and develop the confidence and perseverance to keep trying.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of the five steps for learning from mistakes and trying again.
• Discussion questions to encourage reflection, self-awareness and a positive attitude towards challenges.
• Practical suggestions for bringing perseverance and resilience into everyday classroom life.
• Engaging activities that encourage children to learn from mistakes, adjust their approach and try again with renewed confidence.
• Cross-curricular opportunities for exploring perseverance, problem-solving and learning through experience across different subjects.
• Guidance for adapting activities and support to different learning needs.
• Ideas for observing progress, encouraging reflection and extending learning beyond the classroom.

The emphasis is on helping children understand that mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning, rather than something to fear or avoid. By learning to pause, reflect and make another attempt, children develop resilience, patience and greater confidence in their ability to overcome challenges.

More than a poster companion, this guide helps teachers turn everyday mistakes and setbacks into meaningful opportunities for perseverance, discovery and personal growth.
