What is Scaffolding?
![Page 6: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Education
Do whatever it takes to make “grade level” content learnable.

Scaffolding in Education
Provide Supports
![Page 8: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is Scaffolding?
Decrease Supports to allow students to show
mastery.

So What’s the Problem?
• How does this phrase play into what we do in education?
• How can it relate to scaffolding expectations?
![Page 10: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So What’s the Problem
Would you build scaffolding around this building if all
you had to do was replace the front door?

Hit the Targets!!!
1. With Students2. With Materials3. With Teaching
Methods
![Page 12: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Scaffolding Learning for Students
1. Do I have students whose reading level is significantly below level of text and materials being used?
2. Do I have students who lack strategies for retaining and applying information?
3. Are there gaps in student’s vocabulary and background knowledge?
4. Engagement Questions– Do any students seem to lack motivation?– Are students interested in the content?– Do struggling students often misbehave to avoid being
called on?

Scaffolding for StudentsActively Engage
Make sure “all” students are responding “in a safe way.” (Think-Pair-Share)What Other Ways?
Provide Strategies for Remembering Key Information
Teach Memory StrategiesMnemonicsKey Words“In 1492, Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue.”Others?
Provide Background Knowledge
Studying the Black Death
Others
Assure Access for All Reading LevelsHave more than one source of course content.Audio Books
Purchased or Self MadeKidsclick.org
Tons of information categorized by reading levels.
Others

Scaffolding Teaching Materials
1. What is the actual reading level of the materials being used?2. Is the source unclear or too abstract for learners at this age and
grade level?3. Are the materials organized in a logical and sequential way that
helps students understand and comprehend the content?4. Are there clear examples and models presented to increase
student understanding?5. Is the information in the text layered or does it have many
parts?6. Is the information difficult or complex but crucial to remember?

Scaffolding Teaching MaterialsModify Text
Add graphics, Change Font Size, Add notes, Text to Speak, Audio Recording, Kidsclick.org
Use Graphic Organizers or Story MapsPaint a picture of information
Use Alternative MaterialsDifferent versions of the same storyYouTube has many books that have been made into videos (Where the Wild Things Are)
Teach Note Taking StrategiesCreate note taking forms that utilize hints and cues (Guided Notes)LFS FoldablesCornell Notes Format

Scaffolding Instructional Practices
1. Are my expectations clear?2. Are the instructional activities contributing to
understanding?3. Have I provided opportunities for all students to
participate in learning?4. Is there more than one way for students to show
what they know?5. Do I share my enthusiasm for knowledge with my
students?6. Do I know what their interests and learning style
preferences are?
![Page 18: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Scaffolding Instructional PracticesExpectations Are Clear
Use RubricsUse “Models”
Papers, Projects, AssignmentsRubistar
Classes and Lessons Are Not InterestingMake connections to the learning(Teacher and Student)
Provide Students with More Than OneWay to Demonstrate Competency
Projects, drawings, presentations,postersGive students Choice indemonstrating their knowledge
Raise Expectations for StudentsRaise the Bar and be a CheerleaderDon’t Allow Failure as a StudentChoice
![Page 19: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Does the Strategy Increase Student Engagement?
•Does the strategy get the student’s attention?•Does it involve all students in lesson activities?•Will it utilize student’s interest and background knowledge?
![Page 20: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Can this strategy give the student greater access to grade level content?
• Are the materials a match or mismatch for the student’s skill level?
• Does it include ways for the student to use the information in meaningful ways?
![Page 21: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Will this Teaching Method Improve the Student’s Opportunity to Learn the Skill?
• Does the strategy give the student feedback?
• Will this strategy provide the students with adequate models and examples?
![Page 22: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ways to Scaffold Graphic Organizers
• Teach the structure• Start with partially completed organizer• Give locations of answers on the organizer• Give hints on the organizer• Give answers on the organizer• Have multiple means of engaging with the organizer• Provide alternative references or sources• Include a word or picture bank• Restructure the number of responses needed
![Page 23: Scaffolding to Improve Student Learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546c09d1af795971298b4de2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Exemplary Strategies that Match Student Learning Needs
• Have school based or grade level planning meetings to organize for acceleration.
• General education teachers utilize advance planners for units with vocabulary and content.
• Students’ schedules include time for both remediation and acceleration.
• IEP’s reflect goals for achievement in the standard course of study.• All teachers use exemplary teaching strategies that maximize
achievement for all students.• Students have access to curriculum content and to classroom
engagement activities• Students, teachers, administrators and support personnel believe
that all students can achieve at high levels.
