Science textbooks seem to be a catalogue of successes in science. Noticeably absent are the stories of learning through failure, which is core to the scientific process. This realization led to the design and implementation of \u201cFailure: Learning In Progress\u201d pedagogical tools, case studies, and learning guides in the context of science.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It quickly became apparent that learning through failure is a process not limited to the sciences alone. Experimentation, struggle, failure, and reflection are fundamental to learning as a whole, regardless of discipline. In sum, failure is essential to learning itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FLIP Project examines pedagogical struggle and failure utilizing&nbsp;an equity-focused approach. The team is particularly interested in exploring how the opportunities and consequences of failure fall unevenly in the lives of first-generation, international, Indigenous, and racialized students. Since its inception in 2018 this project has been conducting original studies, publishing research articles, and developing open education resources for instructors and students alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:0\">In recent years, teachers, researchers, and administrators in higher education have recognized the value of pedagogical failure. Post-secondary institutions have increasingly called on students to \u201cembrace risk\u201d and \u201clearn from failure,\u201d often while highlighting the benefits and opportunities that risk taking or \u201cproductive failure\u201d present. However, the language of grit, resiliency, and opportunity within discussions of pedagogical failure is not matched with a systemic commitment to building new or expanding existing resources and supports for students experiencing struggle and failure on the road of learning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"team\" class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#f8fafc\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3427e96\" id=\"meet-the-team\" data-block-id=\"3427e96\"><style>.stk-3427e96{margin-bottom:0px !important}.stk-3427e96 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:30px !important;font-weight:800 !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-3427e96 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:30px !important}}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-align-center stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Meet the Team<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);\">We are an interdisciplinary team of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate research assistants, and undergraduate students based at the University of Toronto and Toronto Metropolitan University.

This is especially true in the realm of science where we want to learn from experimental failure to inform our next steps. However scientific textbooks are usually tales of successes, rather than the failures that led to those successes. And maybe we shouldn\u2019t even be using the word failure, because failure implies something that is finite \u2013 a final stage. What we really want to do is to normalize making mistakes and learning from mistakes as the normal process of learning.<\/p>\n<p>I particularly like reading of <a href=\"http:\/\/fieldworkfail.com\/en\/\">#FieldWorkFails<\/a>!<\/p>\n \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"modal\" id=\"dr-nicole-lalibert\u00e9-modal\">\n            <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                <div>\n                    <h3 class=\"team-member-name\">Dr. Nicole Lalibert\u00e9<\/h3>\n                    <p class=\"team-member-affiliation\">Associate Professor, University of Toronto Mississauga<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div>\n                    <button class=\"modal-close\" id=\"dr-nicole-lalibert\u00e9-modal-close\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" class=\"w-6 h-6\">\n                            <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12\"><\/path>\n                        <\/svg> <span class=\"sr-only\">Close<\/span>\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"team-member-sidebar\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"team-member-image\" src=\"https:\/\/learningfromfailure.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/nicole_laliberte-150x150.png\" alt=\"Dr. Nicole Lalibert\u00e9 profile picture\">\n                    <div class=\"team-member-social-accounts\">\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"team-member-description\">\n                    <p>Nicole is an Associate Professor, Teaching Steam, in the Department of Geography, Geomatics, and Environment at the University of Toronto Mississauga.<\/p>\n<p>When I think about learning through failure, the first thing I think of is how we learn to walk and talk as children. We all accept that it will take time to learn these things, but we don\u2019t name the steps in that process as \u2018failures\u2019 before there is success. \u00a0We simply see it as the process of learning.

He was named a 3M National Teaching Fellow in 2014 and a Fellow of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in 2020.\u00a0 Pat\u2019s research crosses many fields from Polar geography to outdoor education to sustainable resource management. His teaching spans field courses to remote and exotic locations such as Haida Gwaii, Iceland and Antarctica; but he\u2019s equally at home with online modalities and hybrid approaches.<\/p>\n<p>One of Pat\u2019s favourite quotes about failure is: \u201c<i>The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall<\/i>\u201d \u2013 Nelson Mandela<\/p>\n \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"modal\" id=\"erin-vearncombe-modal\">\n            <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                <div>\n                    <h3 class=\"team-member-name\">Erin Vearncombe<\/h3>\n                    <p class=\"team-member-affiliation\">Assistant Professor, University of Toronto<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div>\n                    <button class=\"modal-close\" id=\"erin-vearncombe-modal-close\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" class=\"w-6 h-6\">\n                            <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12\"><\/path>\n                        <\/svg> <span class=\"sr-only\">Close<\/span>\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"team-member-sidebar\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"team-member-image\" src=\"https:\/\/learningfromfailure.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/erin_vearncombe-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Erin Vearncombe profile picture\">\n                    <div class=\"team-member-social-accounts\">\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"team-member-description\">\n                    <div>\n<p>Erin Vearncombe is an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, in the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto St. George, as well as an instructor with the University of Toronto Mississauga&#8217;s Institute for the Study of University Pedagogy (ISUP).\u00a0Erin earned her PhD from the University of Toronto in 2014 through a collaborative program with the Department for the Study of Religion and the Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies.

Erin&#8217;s teaching focuses on writing support and development for new undergraduates; there is always more to learn as a writer!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>One of Erin&#8217;s favourite discussions of failure comes from professional basketball. After his team left the 2023 NBA playoffs, player Giannis Antetokounmpo responded to a press question with a strong statement about what failure means when it comes to sports.

Dr. Whitteck\u2019s experience with diverse institutions, faculty, and students has given her a unique perspective on higher education and the importance of context. Dr. Whitteck is also the Assistant Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Missouri &#8211; St. Louis, where she creates inclusive professional development opportunities that honor and build faculty\u2019s strengths and expertise and meaningfully incorporate students in working toward a more equitable learning environment. Dr. Whitteck\u2019s transformational work has been recognized through several teaching awards, and her scholarship has been published in peer-reviewed chemistry and educational development journals.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite anecdotes about failure are about team failure and how leaders respond to failures. In my opinion, how a leader responds to a team\u2019s failure indicates the level of psychological safety on the team and the quality of the leader. Adam Grant\u2019s book \u201cThink Again\u201d has a lot of great examples of this type of anecdote.<\/p>\n \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"modal\" id=\"tingting-zhu-modal\">\n            <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                <div>\n                    <h3 class=\"team-member-name\">Tingting Zhu<\/h3>\n                    <p class=\"team-member-affiliation\">Assistant Professor, University of Toronto Mississauga<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div>\n                    <button class=\"modal-close\" id=\"tingting-zhu-modal-close\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" class=\"w-6 h-6\">\n                            <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12\"><\/path>\n                        <\/svg> <span class=\"sr-only\">Close<\/span>\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"team-member-sidebar\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"team-member-image\" src=\"https:\/\/learningfromfailure.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/tingting_zhu-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Tingting Zhu profile picture\">\n                    <div class=\"team-member-social-accounts\">\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"team-member-description\">\n                    <div>\n<p>Tingting Zhu is an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, cross-appointed at the Department of Geography, Geomatics and Environment and the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences.

The ability for students to \u2018bounce back\u2019 after a failed test, however, may involve more than performing a research study on class attendance and studying habits.

Coming from highschool and thinking that I could get away with not studying, I thought it was the end of the world and remember crying for hours.

I ended up finishing the course with a great mark and owe it all to that first test.\u00a0So\u00a0my advice to students is that although it may be taboo, failure is completely normal and to use it as a stepping stone because it can only go up from here!\u201d<\/p>\n \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"modal\" id=\"matthew-mandrozos-modal\">\n            <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                <div>\n                    <h3 class=\"team-member-name\">Matthew Mandrozos<\/h3>\n                    <p class=\"team-member-affiliation\">University of Toronto Mississauga<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div>\n                    <button class=\"modal-close\" id=\"matthew-mandrozos-modal-close\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" class=\"w-6 h-6\">\n                            <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12\"><\/path>\n                        <\/svg> <span class=\"sr-only\">Close<\/span>\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"team-member-sidebar\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"team-member-image\" src=\"https:\/\/learningfromfailure.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/matthew_mandrozos-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Matthew Mandrozos profile picture\">\n                    <div class=\"team-member-social-accounts\">\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"team-member-description\">\n                    <p>I am currently a second-year graduate student at the University of Toronto studying neuroscience.

Instead, you must fail, do poorly, and even make embarrassing mistakes, before you can do whatever it is you are interested in.<\/p>\n \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"modal\" id=\"meghan-ward-modal\">\n            <div class=\"modal-header\">\n                <div>\n                    <h3 class=\"team-member-name\">Meghan Ward<\/h3>\n                    <p class=\"team-member-affiliation\">Trent University<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div>\n                    <button class=\"modal-close\" id=\"meghan-ward-modal-close\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" class=\"w-6 h-6\">\n                            <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12\"><\/path>\n                        <\/svg> <span class=\"sr-only\">Close<\/span>\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"team-member-sidebar\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"team-member-image\" src=\"https:\/\/learningfromfailure.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/meghan_ward-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"Meghan Ward profile picture\">\n                    <div class=\"team-member-social-accounts\">\n                        \n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"team-member-description\">\n                    <p>I am currently completing my M.Sc. at Trent University where I study wetland restoration ecology. I spend my summer slogging through marshes to learn about the impacts of invasive species on wetland biodiversity. When I\u2019m not in the marsh, I spend my time browsing through used bookstores and playing with my two dogs, Chewie and Solo.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing failure as a normal part of science was my secret weapon throughout five months of fieldwork during my M.Sc.
