to Carl 6 Scaffolding Strategies to Use with Your Students What’s the opposite of scaffolding a lesson? Saying to students, “Read this nine-page science article, write a detailed essay on the topic it explores, and turn it in by Wednesday.” Yikes! Let’s start by agreeing that scaffolding a lesson and differentiating instruction are two different things. Simply put, scaffolding is what you do first with kids. Scaffolding and differentiation do have something in common, though. So let’s get to some scaffolding strategies you may or may not have tried yet. 1. How many of us say that we learn best by seeing something rather than hearing about it? Try a fishbowl activity, where a small group in the center is circled by the rest of the class; the group in the middle, or fishbowl, engages in an activity, modeling how it’s done for the larger group.Always show students the outcome or product before they do it. 2. 3. All learners need time to process new ideas and information. 4. 5. 6.

"Cómo hacer", la colección de libros completa en PDF - Instantes La biblioteca de mi colegio tiene algunos tesoros que, para los que crecimos en los ochenta, no hacen más que traernos buenos recuerdos. Esa añoranza que tan de moda está, y que supongo es un refugio confortable ante los tiempos que nos ha tocado vivir y lo poco halagüeño que pinta el futuro, hizo que me emocionase al encontrar con la colección ‘Cómo hacer’ (título original ‘The knowhow books’ publicado por Usborne Books) en las estanterías de la biblioteca. Tanto los había disfrutado -leí muchos y compré alguno- que me surgió la necesidad de volver a visitarlos. La colección se publicó en España entre el final de los setenta y principios de los ochenta por la editorial Plesa/SM y está descatalogada, así que resulta imposible conseguirla completa. Los doce volumen que la componen son los siguientes (en orden alfabético): Descargar la Colección 'Cómo hacer' (124 MB, 12 libros en PDF en un ZIP) Así se ve por dentro (clic para ampliar):

How Do We Know When Students Are Engaged? (Updated 11/2013) Educational author and former teacher, Dr. Michael Schmoker shares in his book, Results Now, a study that found of 1,500 classrooms visited, 85 percent of them had engaged less than 50 percent of the students. So, how do they know if a student is engaged? Teacher-Directed Learning You will see students... Paying attention (alert, tracking with their eyes) Taking notes (particularly Cornell) Listening (as opposed to chatting, or sleeping) Asking questions (content related, or in a game, like 21 questions or I-Spy) Responding to questions (whole group, small group, four corners, Socratic Seminar) Following requests (participating, Total Physical Response (TPR), storytelling, Simon Says) Reacting (laughing, crying, shouting, etc.) Student-Directed Learning You see students individually or in small groups... Activity and Ownership I believe that the majority of teachers pick up on the audience cues as they direct-teach and can tell if a student is not interested or not engaged.
