Description
Create a rigorous learning environment with strategic and inclusive scaffolding practices Today′s classrooms are more linguistically diverse than ever, but many educators still feel underprepared to support multilingual learners in accessing grade-level academic content. Without intentional scaffolding, these students miss opportunities to thrive alongside their peers. Through nine scaffolded approaches—instructional, linguistic, multimodal, multisensory, graphic, digital, interactive/collaborative, social-emotional, and environmental—this resource offers content area teachers research-based, practical strategies to meet the linguistic, social-emotional, and academic needs of multilingual learners. Key features of this book include Detailed vignettes and authentic examples from classrooms to illustrate scaffolding in action Research-based strategies for integrating scaffolds into lessons across content areas Self-assessment tools and reflection questions for personal and professional growth Practical templates to help educators tailor their scaffolding techniques to individual student needs Scaffolding instruction is not just another teaching approach to learning—it is a critical non-negotiable for multilingual learners, providing a lifeline to language mastery, academic achievement, and a profound sense of belonging. Dove, Honigsfeld, and McDermott Goldman offer the guidance and inspiration educators need to cultivate equitable, engaging learning opportunities that truly help multilingual students to soar.
