WIDA Scaffolding Up 738-765

Workshop learning experiences will be interactive, scaffolded, and focused on expanding instructional practices that foster high challenge and high support learning opportunities for students. Participants will explore how rigorous, well-sequenced curriculum contributes to rich classroom interactions that mediate learning and move students toward independent success. This 2-day workshop will address:

• Macro-scaffolding practices focused on instructional planning
• Micro-scaffolding strategies focused on contingent teaching
• Collaborative reasoning and student discourse moves
• Moving students toward complex texts and independence as learners
• Providing on-demand supports for students to access content and language

Workshop Participation:

Learning will be focused on classroom-level instructional practices and all educators are welcome to attend. Co-teaching teams are strongly encouraged to attend. Through participating in this workshops, participants will experience support for developing the following scaffolding practices:

• Designing equitable learning opportunities that build on students' identities as developing disciplinary experts
• Mediating learning that:
  • Draws on students' assets and experiences as resources for learning
  • Expands language resources as students engage in joint knowledge construction 

At the close of the workshop, participants will plan next steps that expand their students' resources for learning and meld into their current instructional contexts.
