Scaffolding

Scaffolding involves breaking down a larger task into smaller, more manageable steps and providing support at each stage. The "specific set of questions" acts as a scaffold to guide their thinking and writing. Michelle has tried and true sets of questions to engage students in critical thinking, to express themselves more clearly, and to get them started when staring at a blank page or document causes panic. Michelle provides individualized support, differentiated instruction, clear and explicit language, and flexible routines to build confidence and success.
