I am participating in a fellowship at the Flatiron School and they have these cultural talks that they give students about the mindsets necessary to be a successful programmer. The one they gave us on the call was about the learning zone—how it falls outside the comfort zone but is not part of the panic zone and so you need to leave your comfortable zone to be truly learning but need support so that you don’t end up in the panic zone. How might we design PD and professional learning so that educators are in the learning zone?
