1. Scaffolding

2. Scaffolding For Student Achievement

3. The Goal of Scaffolding
The idea of scaffolding instruction is to provide instruction just beyond what the learner can do by themselves.
The teacher or tutor can provide the scaffolds so that the student can accomplish tasks they could otherwise not complete without assistance.

5. Scaffolding is an instructional technique whereby the teacher models the desired learning strategy or task, then gradually shifts the responsibility to the students.

6. Students become independent, self-regulated learners through instruction that is deliberately and carefully scaffolded.

7. The first stage in building sculpture is to attract the attention of the learners. When the learner is actively involved, the assigned task should be simplified by subdividing it into smaller sub-tasks.

9. Scaffolding Strategies
The teacher gives students a simplified version of a lesson, assignment, or reading, and then gradually increases the complexity, difficulty
The teacher describes or illustrates a concept, problem, or process in multiple ways to ensure understanding
Students are given an exemplar or model of an assignment they will be asked to complete.
Students are given a vocabulary lesson before they read a difficult text.
The teacher clearly describes the purpose of a learning activity, the directions students need to follow, and the learning goals they are expected to achieve.

13. Instructional Scaffolding
As students master the assigned tasks, the supports are gradually removed.

14. Teacher Requirements for
Scaffolding
Knowledge of content
Knowledge of students
Knowledge of learning theory
Repertoire of strategies and tool

15. Scaffolding
1. Students learn more when they are actively engaged in instructional tasks
2. Students become independent, self- regulated learners through instruction that is deliberately and carefully scaffolded.
3. Students can become more independent, self-regulated learners through instruction that is explicit.
4. Scaffolds allow and encourage students to take ownership in their own learning.
