What if you blew it?

What message would it send if building administrators handed out 'I blew it' cards at the beginning of the school year to their teachers?

Take it a step further... what message would it send if district administrators handed out 'I blew it' cards to their building level administrators?

Would this gesture be an invitation to try something new?

An encouragement to risk what's never been risked before?

A green light to get comfortable with being uncomfortable?

An expectation that failure is a part of the learning process and something we should model for kids?

I just wonder what message this might send...


Thanks to @thenerdyteacher for the original idea behind 'I blew it.'
