Instructional Strategies (List of 25)

Scaffolds that we discussed last January.

How do we develop Collaborative Language?

©The English Learner Group, 2014 6

Your classroom has effective and consistent structures for learning.

You implement instructional strategies effectively, and meaningfully.

Nearly ALL your students are attaining the standard.

A few are not yet able to do it. What’s next?

What does your grade level CCSS ELA Standard 1 say?

What does every student need to be able to produce to meet the standard? The right word? The right sentence? The right paragraph? The right composition? What specific academic elements are

necessary to meet the standard?

Scaffolding is the support given during the learning process which is tailored to the

needs of the student with the intention of helping the student achieve his/her learning

goals (Sawyer, 2006). These supports are gradually removed as

students develop autonomous learning strategies, thus promoting their own cognitive, affective and psychomotor

learning skills and knowledge

On the remaining square on the back of your handout, write your current thoughts about how to develop Collaborative language in your classroom.

In groups of four, we will do a Timed Round Robin (Kagan, 2014). Each person will have 1 minute to share their thoughts about developing Collaborative language in his/her class.

What’s next?
