The IRIS Center module on instructional scaffolding explains that scaffolding involves providing temporary, adjustable support to students as they learn new tasks or strategies. This support is gradually removed as students gain independence. Scaffolding is crucial for tasks with multiple steps and can be applied at any grade level to enhance understanding and engagement. The module emphasizes close observation to ensure students grasp the underlying concepts and effectively demonstrates their learning.
