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.
