The gradual release of responsibility model, often abbreviated GRR, is a structured method of pedagogy centered on shifting responsibility within the learning process from the teacher to the learner. Under this approach the teacher initially takes on all responsibility for a task, then transitions in stages until students assume full independence in carrying it out, with the goal of cultivating confident learners and thinkers capable of handling tasks even in areas where they have not yet gained expertise.
