Gradual release or 'scaffolding' is the practice of removing teacher and community support for learning so as to enable individuals to practice on their own, "shifting ownership and responsibility by degrees from themselves to students in a way that provides scaffolding for success." This article describes a 'diamond process' that begins with 'me' (ie., the teacher) and ends up with 'you' (i.e., the learner). "In a remote setting, gradual release of responsibility is often even more important, as students need structure to learn – often alone and at a distance."
