BONUS: 3 Ways Just-In-Time Scaffolding Helps Struggling Math Students

Learn how Just-In-Time Scaffolding can support struggling math students in this video. Discover three effective ways to provide math intervention for students who need extra help in understanding mathematical concepts.

In this S4E29 bonus episode, I unpack the critical differences between "just-in-time" and "just-in-case" scaffolding. Discover why timing is everything when supporting struggling math students and how traditional intervention models often fail at the secondary level. 

Learn practical strategies for maintaining cognitive demand while providing appropriate support, ensuring equity in mathematics education, and balancing academic intervention with social-emotional awareness. 

This episode offers invaluable insights for educators seeking to transform their approach to supporting striving students in grades 6-12, with research-backed methods that preserve productive struggle while providing targeted assistance.
