How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I could go into great detail about this topic, but to keep it short here is a list of possibilities: 1. Help them start to develop a growth mindset. 2. Coach them on how to use available resources to answer their own questions. 3. Help students with difficult problems by asking guiding questions, as opposed to "telling" them how to solve it. 4. Strengthen their ability to advocate for themselves in the classroom by forming specific questions, as opposed to just saying "I don't get it."
