One way to think about scaffolding is with
a diamond. It starts at the top with me (meaning the teacher).
You begin by modeling a lesson.
Next, we go to us. There are two
parts of this. First is the teacher and
the students (us) following guided practice.
The second part of guided practice is us, meaning students working with
partners or in small groups. Finally,
the student (you) does the work independently. As you think about how to support student learning, consider this method of instruction, guided practice, and independent practice.
