Anticipation Guide
On the anticipation guide provided,
mark whether you agree or
disagree with each statement.
What big picture
goals do you have
for your students?
What is Scaffolding?
• Instructional strategy that helps students
connect prior knowledge and experience
with new information
• A student’s prior knowledge may come
from previous learning in a content area
or previous grade level, or from previous
life experiences.
Scaffolding will…..
• support students before, during, and after
learning new concepts or skills.
• put ideas and concepts into context.
• help struggling and proficient readers
engage in a difficult text.
Scaffolding helps students…
• better understand what they are reading
and learning.
• build confidence as they access more
challenging material.
• develop college-readiness skills
(metacognition, problem solving, etc.).
• become skilled and purposeful thinkers
and readers.
Scaffolding can and should…
• enhance the learning goal of a lesson/unit.
• encourage motivation for learning new
material.
• help students transition from needing
teacher/peer assistance to independence.
• be removed gradually as students begin to
demonstrate mastery and no longer
provided when students can perform
the task independently.
