Definition: Scaffolding refers to the idea that specialized instructional supports need to be in place in order to best facilitate learning when students are first introduced to a new subject.
Scaffolding techniques can include displaying graphics, activating prior knowledge, modeling an activity beforehand, and introducing motivational techniques to pique student interest.
Scaffolding is a word, like chunking, that describes how instruction is planned and delivered to students receiving special education services. All instruction is built on "prior knowledge" and students with difficulties often come without the same skill set or prior knowledge as their typical peers. A teacher is challenged to find the student's strengths and build on them to teach the important skills that will lead them either to academic or functional success.
