So, you let the children do as much as they can and then give them a little bit more, and soon they'll be doing it completely on their own. And you help children - when they build on a skill that they already have, you're scaffolding their learning by making it stronger, right? You're giving them just enough support to get to that next rung of proficiency. So, what is scaffolding? Scaffolding is essentially help. It's always important to see the connection of what we do in the classroom and how it impacts children.Īnd then, finally, we'll provide some suggestions on how teachers can continue to improve their ability to scaffold beyond this webinar. ![]() We'll connect scaffolding into the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework. ![]() We'll give some examples and some strategies of how teachers can scaffold children's learning, and we'll do that by me chatting a little bit, but more importantly by you seeing some video and being able to see it in action. What is scaffolding? I'm sure many of you know, but, we'll just kind of dig deeper into that definition. So, what we'd like to do today is to provide you a definition. Today, let's chat more about scaffolding. So, it's important that we consider all three of those domains in the foundation. But we can't really do that without the first two blocks. Today, of course, we're going to focus on the foundation, because as you know, scaffolding fits into instructional interactions. And then the roof of the house is how do we individualize for children to be sure that they're getting the most out of every day, whether they have special needs and need extra support, or if they're really excelling and need extra resource and incentive and engagement to keep those minds growing. The two pillars are the research-based curricula and the teaching practices you use ongoing assessment on the right. And, as you know, we have the foundation around engaging interactions and environments that's really key to what happens on a daily basis in the classroom. This is the Framework for Effective Practice, and all the work we do, all the training we do, the resources we create are around supporting teachers to be effective in the classroom. ![]() So, as you know, we are the National Center on Quality Teaching and Learning, and this is essentially everything we do in a nutshell.
