The Learning Pit is one of the most powerful ways to build resilience, determination and a love of learning. It can help develop a growth mindset; prompt people to explore alternatives and contradictions; and encourage learners to willingly step outside their comfort zone. The Learning Pit will help you • Inspire and reassure learners that stepping out of their comfort zone is a good thing. • Identify when to scaffold, and when to challenge, students so that they move from surface- to deep-learning. • Develop the questioning strategies that will develop learners’ curiosity, resilience and metacognition.
