6. Scaffolding Strategies

6.1. Scaffolding allow me to give guidance and support to my students when learning a concept. Also when scaffolding, I can break up the learning into chunks which allows by students to build upon different strategies. For example, when scaffolding a math lesson, I may start with a read a loud which allows me to discuss key vocabulary. The following are additional strategies that help when scaffolding a lesson.

6.2. Visual Aids:  Helps to enhance learning and serves as a visual guide to master math vocabulary. For example, the minus and equal signs.

6.3. Read Aloud: Helps to support learning and connects ideas. Reading aloud will also offer students language to help them understand the standard and the lesson's concept.

6.4. Modeling, Gesturing, Acting out: Like visual aids, the helps to enhance learning. Acting out this standard helps bring the words or math problem to life. This may be especially helpful to ELL students when English is not there first language.

6.5. Connect to background knowledge: I could use this strategy when creating an exit ticket. Using the students names and background knowledge that has been shared as a class to create personalized word problems. This personalizes learning and makes it fun.

6.6. Small Group or Partner Work: It is important to established good working relationships within partners or small groups. Once good working relationships are achieved this activity allows students to work together and learn from each other.
