Which genre? People who don’t make mistakes are unlikely to learn anything. The best way to learn something is to make mistakes first. Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb, told his colleagues: “Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something I was able to incorporate into the next attempt. ” Benjamin Franklin, the US statesman and scientist once said: “I haven’t failed, I have had 10, 000 ideas that didn’t work. ” • Becoming a more effective teacher is partly a matter of increasing your awareness of what options are available. It is also about the skilful selection of the most appropriate option at each point and efficiently, effectively turning these into actions. Reading books like this, talking to other teachers, observing other teachers at work, getting feedback from observers of your lesson these are all ways of increasing your range of options and your skill at deciding and acting on decisions appropriately.
