Task Overview
Reading Passage
Hurdle Help When students are learning new skills or trying to complete new tasks. teachers generally encourage them to try to complete the tasks independently. However, a particular obstacle or portion of the task may be impossible for them to overcome without assistance, and thus students may become frustrated and stop trying. In such situations, teachers may use the technique of hurdle help, in which the teacher performs a particularly challenging part of a task for students, and then allows the students to complete the rest of the task independently. This ensures that students are able to complete the task and helps control students' classroom behavior.
