Case: Scaffolding or building foundation?
It is interesting how we are eager to run with new terms in education. A few years ago the new buzz word was scaffolding.
A parent who is an educator once asked the teacher for her child; "how do you scaffold for the students?" The teachers response was sharp. "I don't... I am building foundation." Was the teacher correct in his response, considering the original meaning of scaffold as borrowed from building construction? ( A temporary platform used to hold up workers and material during building).
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have to agree with the teacher's response. As educators, we should be building foundations that are meant to last. Scaffolding is temporary assistance that will be removed at a future date, were as a foundation can support the student indefinitely. |

Comments: I agree that we are to build foundations but at the same time scaffolding might be the temporary help needed to continue building the foundation. |
