Spanish term or phrase: andamiaje

SPAIN. From an article comparing leadership styles of head teachers in two different schools in Spain. I'm afraid "scaffolding" just doesn't cut the cake for me.

"Ello significa no sólo la participación en la escuela, sino también en los procesos de aprendizaje con el uso de metodologías activas, grupos interactivos, ***andamiaj***… y todas estas herramientas contribuyen a la larga a la mejora curricular y de los aprendizajes."

It's almost 3 decades since I did my Dip. TEFLA but I see the penchant for buzzword vocabulary hasn't dwindled. "Scaffolding" it is then… :-)
Thanks to everyone for the input.

(educational/pedagogical) supports

Explanation:
'Supports' is a current buzz word in the US, referring to those additional strategies and techniques that K-12 teachers employ in order to 'differentiate instruction.'

I think Robert's point about social support systems is quite valid.

I hope this helps, Neil.

A question commonly asked by U.S. school administrators in the context of a struggling student is 'What supports have you provided?' (precisely like this in the plural form).

As far as 'scaffolding' goes, which personally I first heard of back int 90s (so it's not exactly a new term, it's the more techinical, high-register word for what many teachers nowadays at the K-12 level, at least in the United States, often refer to as 'supports.'

That said, given the register of the source text, 'scaffolding' may produce the closest 'equivalent effect.' I've just offered this an alternative in light of the asker's initial comments.

Note to reference poster

Asker: Interesting? I'm gobsmacked! But I bet this is indeed what they are referring to... they love the latest jargon... :)

Asker: That's actually been "most helpful", thanks a lot. Please don't hesitate to post it as an answer if you would like the KudoZs points :-)
