Instructional scaffolding is a teaching technique wherein temporary, graduated support is provided to a learner and systematically withdrawn as competence increases. Parameters: (1) the support is calibrated to the learner's current level — within the zone of proximal development; (2) it is temporary and fades as independence grows; (3) it takes forms such as modeling, prompts, worked examples, graphic organizers, or guided questions. Persistence mechanism: transmitted through teacher training, curriculum design, and educational research — a deliberate pedagogical craft that exists only through institutionalized teaching practice.

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Well-carved definition: states what instructional-scaffolding is, specifies key parameters (temporary support, graduated, withdrawn as competence increases), includes the Law 6 trailer. Carves cleanly.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition carves well: temporary/graduated support with systematic withdrawal. Parameters include calibration and removal. Trailer present. Distinguishes from permanent support structures.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves instructional-scaffolding: temporary support, systematic withdrawal.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves well: requires calibrated support, graduated withdrawal, and competence-gated progression. Proper Law 6 trailer. Clear parameters distinguishing it from general teaching or permanent instructional support.
