The University of San Diego article outlines seven scaffolding strategies for education, including breaking lessons into manageable parts, using visual aids, and connecting new concepts to real-life experiences. It emphasizes the benefits of scaffolding, such as improved retention and engagement. Additionally, the article contrasts scaffolding with differentiation. Differentiation tailors instruction to individual needs based on abilities and interests, while scaffolding provides temporary support to all students, gradually removed as proficiency increases. Both strategies aim to enhance learning but are applied differently.
