Scaffolding in educational design means structure, which is an essential component to a well-designed curriculum. Scaffolding is used to help students understand important concepts, make connections between concepts, learn new practical skills, and combine these concepts and practical skills into an integrated skill. Scaffolding helps instructors teach more clearly in order to move learners to the next level. However, instructors often haven’t been taught what scaffolding is, why it is needed, and when to use which scaffolding methods. This course, the 13th in Cornerstones: The ABMP Instructor Development Program, does just that.
