What is Scaffolding in PBL?

SCAFFOLDING consists of lessons, workshops, activities, and resources that help students master the content and skills needed to complete a Project Based Learning Unit. They are the pieces of a PBL that support students in successfully completing benchmarks. This page provides several resources such as a scaffolding guide and examples of scaffolding activities that can help you with your own PBL.
