Learning Needs The Right Scaffold
- Learning happens best in the zone of proximal development with a more knowledgeable other supporting growth.
- Scaffolding adjusts help as competence increases to enable true learning.
Teachability As Humble Readiness
- Teachability combines humility to receive correction with actively bringing oneself to be formed by God.
- John Calvin likened teachability to bringing blank tablets for God to write on.
Choose Humility To Learn More
- Cultivate intellectual humility to stay open to criticism and new learning.
- Listen, take notes, and invite correction rather than performing clever quips.






























Christianity is sometimes branded as anti-intellectual, and its followers labelled unteachable. But in an increasingly divided age, the church - with its rich history of learning - might be able to help the world recover what it means to have a teachable spirit … and to know who to learn from.
