Least to Most Prompting

Front: In CS, there is a tendency for teachers to over-prompt and over-scaffold. Starting with minimal help and increasing your support helps you understand what your students really need.

Back: When a student first asks for help, refer them to classroom resources, respond with a question, or give them a generalized prompt. If the student continues to ask for help, gradually increase the amount of help you give, saving things like direct instructions as a last resort.
