In this episode, Heather and Mary discuss scaffolded supports to address diverse student needs. They explore how effective scaffolding gradually shifts responsibility to students, emphasizing collaboration between general and special educators, neuropsych evaluations, and flexible teaching methods. Drawing from Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development, they illustrate how these strategies empower students toward greater independence, while Mary shares insights on fostering a supportive environment through professional development and strong educator relationships.
