Scaffolding Model of Teaching: supports student initiative!

This model was presented during a staff development training at my school.  I think this model is a great visual reminder of how to structure an effective leadership program.

#1 - At the beginning of the year or during your summer training days the advisor is in charge of MODELING and EXPLAINING. 

#2 - Hopefully after a few months or by mid-year the advisor is able to delegate some responsiblity to student leaders; creating a SHARED experience.

#3 - The ulimate goal is to develop student leaders to the point where much, if not all, the responsibility falls on them and the advisor can truly serve in their role of ADVISOR!  (Second year leadership students and elected officers should be close to this stage at the beginning of their senior year.)
