Provide the perfect structure and support to develop student
independence. Effective scaffolding leads to learner autonomy—but
too many educators have been airlifting students to right answers,
perpetuating a generation who don’t know how to learn. Yes, we
know the sweet spot for learning involves giving our students the
right blend of productive failure and productive success, but how
to do it is cloaked in misconceptions. How Scaffolding Works
unveils the essential moves and methods. Ten interactive modules
help every K-12 educator structure support in new ways, including
knowing how to: Gradually release responsibility to students
through intentional and purposeful scaffolding Design lessons and
experiences that attend to the affective, metacognitive, and
cognitive aspects of learning Collect data before, during, and
after learning, so we can place, move, and take away scaffolds with
greater intention Promote independence with front-end scaffolds,
distributed scaffolds, back-end scaffolds, peer scaffolds, and
fading scaffolds Use a blend of demonstration, modeling, coaching,
explaining, questioning and choice Promote purposeful practice—in
which learners knows where they’re going and how to get there
Perhaps we rush in to rescue learners because the world seems
fraught; we want to help our students reach the safety of academic
success. Our intentions are good, but it’s time to step back,
gradually and purposefully, and let them pilot their own learning.
