Abstract: Scaffolding is a teaching technique educators utilize where they progressively offer decreasing support as learners gain mastery or understanding of content. Research shows many benefits to scaffolding; however, we as management and leadership educators, may not consistently utilize and apply scaffolding in order to reap its benefits. This session will introduce and allow for application of two scaffolding examples in management and leadership courses while also opening discussion regarding how our MOBTS colleagues have both succeeded and struggled to integrate scaffolding in their classes. Attendees will leave inspired to be more intentional when integrating scaffolding in management and leadership education.
