Research has shown that instructional scaffolding can have a powerful impact on student learning, especially when it comes to literacy. However, as we strive to turn research results into actual results by using scaffolding to accelerate learning growth, we need to make sure that we implement that scaffolding in a way that offers just the right level of challenge to students.
In this edWebinar, educators learn:
- Proven methods for providing scaffolding so that all types of learners can improve their reading skills
- How to ensure scaffolding provides students with the level of support they need
- How to fade scaffolds as students develop skills and concepts
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders.
