Description
Using scaffolds is a non-negotiable component of supporting MLs’ content and language development. Instructional scaffolds can be grouped into three main categories: (1) instructional materials, (2) instructional practices, and (3) instructional groupings. The Categories of Scaffolds guide provides a description and examples of scaffolding for each category of instructional scaffolds.
Considerations
The Categories of Scaffolds guide can be a useful tool when collaborating with classroom or ELD teachers around content instruction.
How It Works
The Categories of Scaffolds guide can be used as you plan units and lessons to determine which scaffolds would be most effective to leverage the strengths and support the needs of your MLs in meeting content and language objectives.
