We know that modelling is essential, but creating three different versions of a WAGOLL, from the perfect answer to the scaffolded frame, is a massive drain on teacher time.

In this video, the fourth in my “Mastering AI” series, I introduce The Scaffolding Sketcher. This Gemini Gem automates the “Gradual Release of Responsibility” (I Do, We Do, You Do). Crucially, it features a strict “Context Guardrail.” It won’t generate a single word until you define the Target Audience (e.g., Year 4 or A-Level) and the Success Criteria. This ensures the output is perfectly pitched for your classroom every time.

What’s inside:

• The Pain Point: Why manual scaffolding takes so long.
• The Logic: The 3-stage “Fading Support” loop explained.
• The Demo: Watch it generate GCSE Music resources in real-time.
• Under the Bonnet: How to set up the “Context Guardrail” in Gemini.
