I think that three of the skills that my students struggle with the most are posing questions, taking responsible risks, and perseverance. I think that students' previous experiences in schools focus more on the acquisition rather than formation of knowledge. I wonder to what extend a culture of correctable formative assessments and standards based grading would help students gain an environment with low-stakes practice and flexible timelines that would allow them to take risks and try again when they don't find success without being punished for it.
