Using scaffolds, the teacher gradually releases responsibility to students to promote learning and independence. Students expect to be self-reliant. Students use scaffolds across tasks with similar demands.A Little Humor:-How do you make a robot angry? Keep pushing his buttons.

https://www.ted.com/talks/trevor_ragan_how_to_overcome_ fear
Fear can be helpful when we're in danger, but sometimes it gets in the way of learning opportunities. Trevor Ragan digs into fear - outlining what it is, where it comes from, and (most importantly) how we can work to put it in its place. Trevor Ragan is the founder of Trainugly.com, a free educational website designed to unpack and share the science of learning and development. He spends his time with thought leaders and researchers from the worlds of psychology and developmental science, consumes their research, connects the dots, and shares it with anyone who will listen. He's worked with professional and college sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, reentry programs, and hundreds of schools across the country. These workshops are designed to help people understand and apply important principles of development in order to become better learners.
