How Scaffolding Supports ALL Learners
Teaching without scaffolding is like climbing a ladder with missing steps. And for most of our students, the gap between the bottom rung and the top rung is both overwhelming and scary.
This week, Lily Cornielle-Cordero from Teach Empowered joins us to unravel the mystery of scaffolding instruction. Listen in to learn how to make learning accessible for all.
"Once a student feels successful at doing something, they can replicate it, and that is when we know they have learned the process."
With an impressive 19-year career in education, Lily has dedicated herself to making a positive impact in the lives of students. She currently serves as the English Language Learner, Equity, and Student Support Specialist in Connecticut, and she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.
Lily's journey in education has been guided by her passion for language and learning. Holding certifications in World Language (Spanish), Special Education K-12, and Administration, she has been instrumental in promoting full inclusion and culturally responsive teaching practices. By equipping educators with the tools and strategies necessary for success, Lily ensures that all students have equitable access to a quality education.
Throughout this episode, we'll delve into Lily's insights and practical tips on how to best scaffold instruction for all students. Her expertise and dedication can be heard as she shares her experiences to empower fellow educators to create inclusive and supportive learning environments.
