Developing scaffolding strategies to support intentional teaching​

A pedagogy of intentionality means that in all aspects of curriculum planning and implementation, educators make deliberate, thoughtful and purposeful decisions to support children’s learning. A highly intentional approach to implementing plans ensures educators can articulate their pedagogy and effectively scaffold children’s learning to help children reach their fullest potential.

By drawing from the planning cycle, this session delves into scaffolding as an intentional teaching strategy and breaks down the planning of experiences into the what, how, and why.
