PRACTICAL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING · 20 minutes

Fade the scaffold deliberately

Plan the transition from a supported response to an independent one. Keep the learning goal stable.

  1. Start

    Use a complete model and a short frame where the task warrants them. Explain the relationship the frame expresses.

  2. Reduce

    Replace the frame with key words, then with a reminder of the reasoning. Watch the response rather than removing support on a fixed timetable.

  3. Review

    Collect a new response without the original frame. Decide whether to retain, restore or reduce a support.

Check the principle

A learner writes accurately with a frame but loses the causal link when it is removed. What next?
