Scaffolding is the support teachers provide students so they can successfully progress from novice to expert — and it is a crucial part of teaching and classroom management. This exciting book explores the research behind scaffolding and adaptive teaching, while also debunking the myths and misconceptions behind this approach. Drawing on evidence from cognitive science, it brings together the best practices of tried-and-tested scaffolding methods across different settings and disciplines. Given the growing concerns about learning deficits, metacognition and outsourcing learning to AI, this is an invaluable book. Aimed at K-12, the ideas and methods are applicable in higher education.
