Scaffolding has a weighted effect size of 0.52, as of the latest research, and has the potential to considerably accelerate student learning. Learn more about scaffolding techniques in this webinar led by John Almarode and Nancy Frey: ow.ly/1cKQ50PGU4z

Scaffolds are meant to be TEMPORARY. Otherwise, we'd still be looking at the Statue of Liberty like this... It's no different for learning. Scaffolds were meant to be used & then eventually taken down.

#STEM is not just a name we put on a school... STEM is not a curriculum we buy… STEM is not dependent on getting a grant… STEM is not something just for special days with some of our students... STEM is about making learning relevant for EVERY kid in EVERY classroom EVERY day

This #NationalCareerDevelopmentMonth, empower your students to identify their interests and potential career paths so they can work toward them with intention and determination.💪 You can encourage career awareness with these classroom ideas. bit.ly/3FPiyNR #K12 #STEMed

Today, we remember and honor the legacy of Harry Wong, author of 'The First Days of School,' a timeless guide that has inspired educators worldwide. His insights continue to shape the way we approach teaching and learning. Thank you for everything Mr. Wong. 🍎 #HarryWong #RIP

Positivity isn’t about denying the reality of challenges or difficulties. Positive people are solution seekers. Instead of getting bogged down in the problem, they immediately start looking for solutions. This approach can inspire others to do the same. #leaders #leadership
