Building a tolerance for uncertainty

So much I have written about recently is just that: building a tolerance for uncertainty. Perhaps that’s the stuff we should be talking about, not clarity. Here’s a wonderful quote from an article about scaffolding that is too good to pass up:

“..teaching requires tolerance for uncertainty about whether this particular child needs more time, a different approach, or simply your presence whilst they work through difficulty.”

Uncertainty doesn’t sell courses or get you good grades, but learning to sit with it might just be a skill worth learning.
