  1. Scaffolding Created By Vonnie (Mrs. Purple)Lewis

  2. 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. • Scaffolding is about helping the learner through their specific ZPD.

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

  4. Students become independent, self-regulated learners through instruction that is deliberately and carefully scaffolded. Scaffolding is a tool that provides the support and structure necessary for students to become independent, self-regulated learners.

  5. Scaffolding Techniques • Teachers provide substantial support in early stage of new concept • Verbal • Procedural • Instructional

  6. Verbal Scaffolding • Paraphrasing • “Think-aloud” • Reinforce contextual definitions

  7. Increasing Independence Procedural Scaffolding Whole Class Small Group Partners Independent

  8. Instructional Scaffolding • Use scaffolding to help students understand what they are learning • Example: Use a graphic organizer to highlight what material is covered in a particular chapter or lesson.

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

  10. Teacher scaffolding in the classroom Two key features of scaffolding: • Extending understandings: the word ‘extending’ here points to the ways scaffolding enables students to develop understandings and successfully complete tasks that they would not be able to do independently. 2. Temporary support: another key aspect that is crucial to scaffolding is the temporary nature of the support provided by teachers.

  11. Scaffolding • Scaffolds allow and encourage students to take ownership in their own learning. • Types of scaffolds • Programmatic Scaffolding • Responsive Scaffolding

  12. HighlightedTeaching Principles 1. Students learn more when they are activelyengaged in instructional tasks 2. Students become independent, self- regulated learners through instruction that is deliberately and carefullyscaffolded. 3. Students can become more independent, self-regulated learners through instruction that is explicit.
