Linguistic Scaffolds 101
to tackle your most urgent challenges around linguistic scaffolds
Research consistently shows that the silent, teacher-centered classroom does not create the best learning conditions for bilingual learners. In this workshop, you’ll learn several state-of-the-art language-based scaffolds that invite bilingual learners to the conversational table, and we’ll do it through role play activities and designing classroom dialogue scripts. This workshop is just as powerful for teachers as it is for school leaders who want to know what good bilingual classrooms sound like.
In this workshop, we will cover:
Why not all regular scaffolds will work for bilingual learners
5–10 high-yield linguistic scaffolds that align with specific grade levels
Methods to embed linguistic scaffolds in your assessment routines
An observation protocol
