Personal Reflection | 15 minutes
This reflection activity goes more in-depth about Scaffolding, an approach to math tutoring that focuses on this important boundary between a student's comfort and discomfort with learning. Too much comfort, and learning may not happen. Too much discomfort, and students can shut down. As tutors provide the right Scaffolding, they help students enter the “learning zone,” their growing edge as they lean into the challenge of learning new skills and ideas.
