coACTION Project ModulePage 16/24Whole School Approach The ‘error consultation’ dialogue format can be implemented in primary schools in a child-friendly way - with the aim of helping children to learn: Mistakes are valuable and help us to become smarter. In order for primary school children to be able to use this format, it requires appropriate language, a clear structure, a safe atmosphere and support from teachers . That's how the error consultation can succeed: Goal for primary school pupils : Strengthen self-reflection Understanding, naming and learning from mistakes Develop resilience Taking responsibility for your own learning Reduce fear of failure Developing the courage to talk about failures Promote social learning Strengthening empathy and helpfulness in the classroom Your role as a teacher: ● Be a role model - also share your own small ‘mistakes’ ● Take the lead in discussions (especially in grades 1-2) ● Encourage, not embarrass ● Give positive feedback (‘That was a good way to learn!’) This is how a child-orientated consultation can work: 1. clarify the framework (together with the class): ● - ‘In our class, you can talk about mistakes.’ ● - ‘We don't laugh at others.’ ● - ‘We listen carefully and support each other.’
