Success through Scaffolding
1. Success Through Scaffolding
Practical application of verbal,
procedural and instructional scaffolds to
develop language and academic
proficiency in ALL our students
Presented by DHS SIOP Coaches Carla Huck and Beth Amaral
2. DO NOW:
Work with peers at your table to
build a SCAFFOLD from your
deck of cards

3. Think-Pair-Share
What does scaffolding mean to you?
How do you scaffold content within
your classroom?
What would you like to know more
about this topic?
4. Objectives
Content Objectives:
(1) We will be able to identify effective teaching strategies, tools
and techniques that lead to academic content and language
learning in all classes.
(2) We will be able to organize instruction so that student
learning is scaffolded throughout each lesson -- using
verbal, procedural and instructional scaffolds.
Language Objectives:
(1) We will read a text and complete a THIEVES organizer.
(2) We will view a video clip and listen for 10 new vocabulary
words to turn into a summary as part of a GIST exercise.
(3) We will discuss different types of scaffolds in a CONGA LINE
and ways to implement them in our own classes.
5. Why Use Scaffolding?
Effective scaffolding can increase the students’ independence in
performing a task or learning a new concept through the gradual release
of responsibility (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2010; Fisher & Frey, 2008).
6. The Three Types of
Scaffolding
1. Verbal scaffolds are techniques focused on
language development:
Paraphrasing
Using “think-alouds”
Reinforcing contextual definitions
Providing correct pronunciation by repeating
students’ responses
Slowing speech, increasing pauses, and speaking
in phrases
Purposefully using synonyms, antonyms and
cognates
7. Verbal Scaffolding
Student: I am having a hard time answering this question.
Teacher: Let me take a look at it. Ok, the question is: “What was
significant about the Spanish Armada?”
Let’s look back through the chapter and try to find the word Armada. I
see it here, it is in bold. Do you know what that word means? How
about significant - is that a cognate?
Student: “Significativo” – it means important.
Teacher: Are there any pictures on the page to help us visualize an
Armada? Yes, look at the picture and compare the size of the Spanish
ships to the English ships.
Now let’s read the sentence it is in, the sentence before and the
sentence after and try to see if the answer we are looking for can be
found there.
(Philip built up a mighty fleet, or a group of warships under one
command. It was called the Armada. The Armada was the largest fleet
of ships that Europe had ever seen.)
Ok, now can we determine the answer?
8. 2. Procedural Scaffolds are techniques that relate
to grouping and activity structures:
Using an instructional framework that includes
explicit teaching, modeling, and practice
opportunities with others, with expectations for
independent application.
Providing opportunities for peer collaboration and
tutoring.
Cooperative learning activities. Students support
one another as they are learning the subject matter
and accomplishing their roles. They practice their
oral language skills as they interact verbally.
Use of routines
Process writing, which focuses on the process of
creating writing and learning the stages of the
writing process, rather than the end product.
10. 3. Instructional scaffolds are tools that support
learning
visuals and imagery
manipulatives
models and diagrams
making a variety of resources available in the
classroom, e.g. dictionary, thesaurus, computers.
posting schedules and project timelines
graphic organizers (GIST)
chapter outlines (THIEVES)
word walls
pictographs
sentence starters and academic language frames
11. Q: When should I use graphic organizers during my
lesson?
A: They can be used at any point of your lesson to present new
information, to practice and deepen understanding of new
knowledge, and to generate and test hypotheses about new
knowledge.

14. How many scaffolds can you
find?
Teacher A arrives at class with
lecture notes in hand. She
writes on the board "Three
States of Matter: Solid,
Liquid, Gas." After her 20
minute oral presentation,
students are directed to read
a portion of their science
book and to answer the
questions at the end of the
section.
As students work, she
circulates among them and
answers questions
individually when hands are
raised.
Teacher B also arrives at class with lecture
notes. In addition, she carries a box full of
equipment, including many bowls, a small
hot plate, and a bag of ice cubes. Teacher
B also writes "Three States of Matter:
Solid, Liquid, Gas" on the board. But
underneath each word she adds a drawing
to represent each concept and illustrate
the molecular structure. As Teacher B
lectures she in turn melts ice, boils water,
and, under the drawings on the board,
writes ice, water, and steam.
Students in class B are also assigned a
portion of the text to read. But instead of
answering the questions in the text, they
are asked to work in pairs to write down
comprehension questions for their peers
to answer about the passage.
As students begin to read the text, Teacher B
sits down with a group of four beginning
ESL students to review the main ideas,
prepare the students to participate in the
next day's lesson, and show them that
they are to copy and label the drawings of
the three molecular structures into their
science journals.
15. THIEVES Practice
Work with a partner to complete the THIEVES organizer from your text.
T Title
H Headings
I Introduction
E Every first sentence in a paragraph
V Visuals and vocabulary
E End-of-chapter questions
S Summary
16. THIEVES: From Theory to
Practice
Manz, S.L. (2002). A strategy for previewing textbooks:
Teaching readers to become THIEVES. The Reading
Teacher, 55, 434–435.
Surveying the specific elements of a textbook chapter
will help students activate prior knowledge, as well as
identify their purpose and expectations for reading the
chapter.
Perusing the title, headings, introduction, topic
sentences, visuals, vocabulary, end-of-chapter
questions, and summary before reading the text itself
helps readers identify important concepts, establish a
context, and note significant points.
17. GIST
(Generating Interaction between Schemata and Text)
Watch the video clip from Discovery
Education
(Fair Trade Chocolate 2:16)
Take note of 10 key terms
Turn your terms into a summary
statement
18. GIST: From Theory to
Practice
Rhoder, C. (2002). Mindful reading: Strategy training that
facilitates transfer. Journal of Adolescent & Adult
Literacy, 45(6), 498–512.
Train the students in the strategy. Display a passage on
the board and then read it with the class. With the
students, pick out eight or ten of the most important words
from a passage and underline or circle them. Then write a
summary of the passage in a sentence or two using those
words. Do this as a class for several passages of text, then
ask students to try the technique on their own or in pairs.
Alternatively, use this strategy with your content-based
video clips. Students with less proficient listening
comprehension skills will be able to “get the GIST” with
structured listening tasks. See adapted template in
packet.
19. CONGA LINE
Count off by twos
Form two lines of “ones” and “twos” facing each
other
For 30 seconds, ones will share their GIST
summary with the person across from them and
how they will implement this strategy in the
classroom.
After 30 seconds, the “twos” will share.
Then, the head of the line of “twos” will conga
through the center to the end of the “twos” line and
everyone will shift up one, giving everyone a new
partner.
21. Design Questions
Take a look at the Marzano Framework in your folder:
Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors
DQ2: What will I do to help students effectively interact with
new knowledge?
DQ3: What will I do to help students practice and deepen
new knowledge?
DQ4: What will I do to help students generate and test
hypotheses about new knowledge?
Domain 2: Planning and Preparing
DQ10: What will I do to develop effective lessons organized
into a cohesive unit?

Notes de l'éditeur
One of the main benefits of scaffolded instruction is that it provides for a supportive learning environment in which students are free to ask questions, provide feedback and support their peers in learning new material. When you incorporate scaffolding in the classroom, you become more of a mentor and facilitator of knowledge rather than the dominant content expert.
