As an educator, I have scaffolded a child's learning by assisting the child to move to the next level of thinking or by consolidating the child's existing skills or knowledge.
For an example of what I have scaffolded a child's learning. Three weeks ago our weekly programme was "Dinosaurs Themed" but a few child were still interested in Dinosaurs. So the child was asking me to implementing Dinosaurs again in this week. I think to assisting the children interest by extending the programme and providing opportunities for choice supporting child-initiated explorations, investigations and play.
