Peters Reading

I think scaffolding is a concept that can be used in education.  Scaffolding is the support that a teacher provides a student.  The teacher needs to asses the amount of scaffolding a student may need.  As a teacher, the goal should be to provide the student with material that is not too easy and not too difficult.  This is a very challenging task to do but with the use of scaffolding, teachers can make knowledge most beneficial.  The work of Piaget is extremely intriguing to me. I believe the use of schema is essential is student's knowledge. To make connections with previous experiences, students can learn best.
