CloseAfter the child receives a cue, offering help is the second step in a Planned Instructional Sequence. The kind of help, or prompting, a child receives depends on their specific learning goals or objectives. The goal for Head Start educators and staff members is to give just the right amount of support, or scaffolding, so the child can learn a new skill. Then, the help can be gradually removed so the child can demonstrate the new skill independently.
