Instructional Scaffolding Education
Instructional Scaffolding promotes a deeper level of learning by creating a production experience for students where the instructor(s) role model desired tasks and strategies that gradually shift in responsibility to the students. From a collaborative work ethic to experiential learning, implementing Instructional Scaffolding into a student production more closely mimics the industry standard of production, thereby helping students understand departments, budgets and hierarchy before they go work in the industry.
