***SCAFFOLDING***
Thread ๐งต
Teaching is a complex activity with lots of factors interrupting learning.
Scaffolding is a strategy that allows teachers to be responsive during lessons to support students to move towards the same end goal.
The route each students takes can look different.

A great paradox of teaching is that sometimes, you have to go slower to go faster. We speed up as we're worried about covering the curriculum but time spent mastering some essential things can free up more space in the long run. It also boosts motivation for the tricky stuff.

Does anyone have a favourite element from the Model for Great Teaching? One you're most interested in, facinated by or care about most?
We'd love to know.
It's way harder than choosing between chocolate or crisps, and we think that's really hard.
