Sunday 11:15 - 12:05 
Cosmos C
Designing Scaffolded Materials for the Reading Class
Chuck Sandy
Cambridge University Press
 

In one of Vygotsky's loveliest metaphors, instruction is seen as scaffolded assistance and the teacher as one who constructs scaffolds which allow students to move from one level of proficiency to the next. In this workshop, participants will be guided through a series of scaffolded activities designed to demonstrate the concept before working in groups to design scaffolded tasks of their own.
