What+is+the+teachers+primary+role?

=What is the teachers primary role?= =The teacher's role is to stimulate and enable discussion in the class. The teacher should ask relevant questions and assist students in drawing conclusions on the subject. There are three major ways for teachers to help students including modeling, scaffolding, and coaching. Modeling gives an example of what is required and shows the most important steps and decisions.= =In coaching, students complete the required task by themselves. The coach gives prompts, hints, and feedback to the students. In scaffolding, modeling and coaching may be used, but other support such as leading questions or even giving away parts of the solution are allowed. The support in scaffolding is always faded so that the students become more self-reliant.=
