Taking responsible risks in the classroom

There are many things you do in the classroom that you probably never considered to be a ‘risky
action’. Consider two classroom actions that you believe to be potentially risky but could ultimately
benefit your studies:



Risk one:


________________________________________________________________________


Why is this action potentially risky?
______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________


What do you believe to be the worst outcome if you took this risk?
______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________


How could you benefit by taking this risk?
______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________



Risk two:


_______________________________________________________________________


Why is this action potentially risky?
______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________

What do you believe to be the worst outcome if you took this risk?
______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________


How could you benefit by taking this risk?
______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________
