Sometimes when we introduce new concepts, they pick them up quickly and we can move on to the next unit. Other times, our students struggle, and we have to provide extra support for them. When we provide that extra support, we are scaffolding our lessons.
Scaffolding allows you to meet the students’ needs and help them make progress toward mastery of a concept. By scaffolding your lessons, you are breaking the content up into chunks that are more manageable for your students.
