Overview

In an increasingly uncertain world, students are expected to navigate complexity, ambiguity and change—yet many experience risk as something to avoid rather than engage with. This session explores how cultivating a positive risk mindset in K–12 classrooms can strengthen student resilience, confidence and adaptability, preparing learners not just to cope with uncertainty, but to grow through it. Educators will leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately, including: • How to design learning experiences that make risk safe, visible and purposeful • Ways to shift student thinking from “getting it right” to learning through iteration and feedback • Wimple classroom practices that support resilience, agency and reflective decision-making This session invites educators to rethink how we prepare students for the unexpected—by equipping them with the mindset to engage with risk confidently, ethically and constructively.
