October Key of Excellence
October Key of the Month
FAILURE LEADS TO SUCCESS – Learn from mistakes
View failures as feedback that provides you with the information you need to learn, grow, and succeed.
When we live the Key of Failure Leads to Success we see failures as feedback, we learn from them and make the changes needed to be more successful in the future.
To live this Key successfully we may need to change the way we think about failure. Rather than viewing failure in a negative way where we put ourselves down and think WE are a failure, think of failure as a valuable learning experience. When we look at our mistakes with a view to learning from them, rather than sending ourselves negative messages, we are on the path to success.
We may be reluctant to try different things because we’re afraid of failing. Fear of failure does nothing but keep us in our comfort zone where we stick with the familiar, the “safe” choices where we don’t “risk” another failure. When we step out of our comfort zone—when we’re willing to try something new—that is when we take a step toward success.
The only real failure is not learning from our mistakes. The key to success is to look carefully at what went wrong, change what we did the first time, and try again by applying what we learned.

Spring 2021 TCAP Family Portal
Here are some ways to use the TCAP Family Portal:
- Identify student strengths and next steps for areas to improve in the future.
- Use information presented in the portal to engage in conversations with educators about your student’s academic progress.
- Track progress over time with a “Test History” feature.
- Find helpful links to department TCAP resources.
A toolkit to support districts in communicating about this resource is available here, including the Family Portal FAQ available here. Videos to help users in navigating the portal are available on Best for All Central.
Your student's USID number can be found on their TCAP Reports that were sent home on Friday, September 3rd with progress reports.
