TEACHER TALK
Scaffolding is temporary support
given as students learn new skills.
Scaffolded instruction includes direct
explanations, crutches, and other
support which is gradually removed
as skills are mastered.
Be sure to schedule
time for students to
work on the unit
inquiry project,
"Learning About Money." This
week students look for information that helps them answer their questions.
