Scaffolding Scaffold a A Major Assignment

Consider:

The more complex the task, the more support your students will need.

Reflect:

Take a look at your major assignments, or perhaps the final assessment. What will your students need to know or be able to do in order to be successful? What help might a student with a learning difference or an English learner need?

Review the scope of your course, and think about ways you might be able to create learning experiences to help your students practice and develop their skills along the way.

Implement:

Try incorporating a few of the strategies from this module into your course. You do not have to scaffold every assignment right now, but one or two small changes can make a big difference
