Start with Instruction

Working in a group is the end goal or by yourself

Scaffolding in Education

• Scaffolding is a teaching technique in which a teacher will start to provide less instruction with the more the students know so usually it will start off with a bunch of teacher led instruction and it will slowly go away.
• Students will begin to learn new material.
• It is a long process usually that can take a few days.
• Often it is presented inside of many lesson plans without being seen.
• Helps students get a more immersed understanding.

Strategies to use with the Children

• Tapping into prior knowledge so people can use what they know on the topic.
• Pre teaching vocabulary is important because it allows for the students to have a basic understanding of the situation.
• Use visual aids so that the students can have a better understanding of what they are dealing with in the future when you put them in the situation to teach themselves the topic

Example of a good way to do it

1. The teacher does it
2. The class does it
3. Then the group can do it
4. Then it is best to get the individual to do it.

What this Provides

• This will help to make students more independent.
• This makes it so that students can usually get immersed in multiple levels of learning all that are different and can have a variety of helpful measures.
• Also helps to make students participate in what you are teaching a little bit more because they now have a much more astute understanding of the situation that is happening in class.

Who this is good for and how to use it

• Middle school using opposing points of view can be a strong way to show scaffolding allowing students to observe more than just what they might think and develop a better understanding of the situation
• In high school introducing them to a topic and then allowing them to move at their own pace can be helpful for a student
• For elementrary school the most important thing is to introduce them to topics that they already know

Class ideas

This can be used in so many different ways that a teacher can try and supplement Scaffolding into whatever they might be doing inside of their classroom. This has been shown to be helpful to students and allows for them to get much more intimately involved into the class subject that they are learning. Most teaching styles will come with their pros and cons, this one often uses a variety of different methods and poor's them into one allowing each and everyone of the students to hopefully learn better in their own way. Many Universities are advocates for this style of teaching and to an extent people do already utilize this way of teaching.
