Scaffolding

Explanation:

Scaffolding is a term that is proposed by Vygotsky. Zone of proximal distance and the concept of Scaffolding are a similar method that is used in teaching methods.

This is the method through which a student gets more information more rapidly than a traditional method. This method is beneficial only when you implement it accurately. On the other hand, if it is not used correctly, it hinders the ability of a student.  

Thus Mr. Reese used the scaffolding method in his teaching. He monitored students' progress, stopping to ask prompting questions and drop the hints to help the students.

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
