Onsego’s Score Booster Program

In the Score Booster Program developed by Onsego GED Prep, the Scaffolding technique helps students overcome challenges.

What is Scaffolding?

In education, scaffolding relates to methods used to provide specific guidance for students to learn new skills or knowledge.

With scaffolding, instructors provide new information or solutions to problems in a phased way, building further on prior knowledge.

Later in the education process, instructors gradually step back and let students practice alone or in small groups.

The Scaffolding in Education technique can also be related to as:
First, I Do, Then We Do, and Finally, You Do.

Educational Framework

Scaffolding lays out a framework for students to gradually build up their knowledge while using earlier realized building blocks as a foundation for their new skills and knowledge.

That’s exactly what Onsego’s Score Booster Program does. The program aims to help students close to reaching their desired GED results and uses prior knowledge to enhance results, one building block at a time.

This program goes beyond any traditional study method and equips students with a better understanding of GED curriculum topics, using specific techniques and instruction to optimize their GED scoring potential.

Scaffolding is a pedagogical tool that helps students understand and retain new information better and faster.

The phrase “Scaffolding” is derived from the world of construction, where scaffolds are platforms used by construction workers to work on while working on a building’s walls or floors.

What’s Included?

Onsego‘s Score Booster Program includes the following:

Scaffolding Benefits

Education scaffolding is a system for teachers to help students achieve new skills and knowledge one step at a time. It is based on the principle of “I do first, then we do, and then you do it by yourself.”

In Onsego’s Score Booster Program, the Scaffolding technique is an effective tool to help students understand complex GED subject material better and overcome challenges faster so they can improve their GED scores.
