Scaffolding

« Back to Glossary Index

Scaffolding is the process of giving help or resources to students to help them learn faster followed by removing the assistance over time.

Initially, students are given this extra help in stages to achieve their goals. Over time, scaffolding is removed so that the students can achieve the desired goals with no help.

Some types of scaffolding include:

  • Tips
  • Resources
  • Charts
  • Samples
  • Memory tools
