Overview
Standardised worksheets and tasks may pose difficulties for some children, particularly those with special needs, who have unique learning styles and preferences. Very often, they are dismissed as unteachable by their parents and teachers. However, through the incorporation of various types of scaffolding, whether within the worksheets, or additional learning resources, caregivers and educators can help these children/students to grasp the concepts being taught. In this workshop, participants will not only learn the principles and techniques of creating effective scaffolding in their worksheets and tasks, but also learn how to make the different types of scaffolding.
