Final thought on Assessment
Focusing on assessment throughout the entirety of the lesson will push for more success, rather than just formal testing at the end of a lesson. Scaffolding helps to ensure that a large group of the class can identify what concept is and move towards mastery. This also helps the teacher to work with more than just one student at a time, allowing a greater number of children to succeed. Collaboration is a key resource in learning and growth of a concept.
