“Ample Opportunities Provided for Students to Use Learning Strategies”
1. Metacognitive Strategies
a. help students to purposefully monitor their own thinking
2. Cognitive Strategies
a. help students organize and classify information that they are expected to learn through
the process of self-regulating learning
3. Social/Affective Strategies
a. encourage students to sort out information through discussion and peer interaction

Video- Scaffolding
Feature 14
● Scaffolding is the 14th feature and is associated with Vygotsky’s Zone of
Proximal Development (ZPD).
● The ZPD is what the child can accomplish alone and what they can
accomplish with the assistance of a more experienced individual.
● Scaffolding refers to techniques used to move students toward a stronger
understanding in the learning process. In the earliest stages of teaching
a new concept, teachers scaffold instruction when they provide substantial
amounts of support.
● Teachers then gradually decrease the amount of support as the learners
acquire experience through practice opportunities.
Continued
● There are two types of scaffolding which are verbal and procedural.
● Verbal scaffolding is when teachers are aware of their students levels of
language development. They use prompting, questioning, and elaboration to
assist students’ movement to higher levels of language proficiency,
comprehension, and thinking.
● Some examples of verbal scaffolding are paraphrasing, using
“think-alouds”, providing correct punctuation by repeating students’
responses, slowing speech, increasing pauses and speaking in phrases.
● With effective teacher-student interaction, this can promote confidence
and language proficiency.
Continued
● In addition to this, teachers incorporate instructional approaches that
provide procedural scaffolding. These include:
1. Using an instructional framework that includes explicit teaching,
modeling, and practice opportunities with others
2. One-on-one teaching, coaching, modeling
3. Small group instruction with children practicing a newly learned topic
with another experienced student
4. Partnering or grouping of experienced students with less experienced
students for activities
● Teachers can also use instructional scaffolding to enhance student
learning. A good example of this is graphic organizers such as semantic
maps, venn diagrams, and timelines which could be used to illustrate a
chapter’s text structure.
Feature 15
● The 15th feature is a variety of questions or tasks that promote higher-order thinking skills.
Another way in which teachers can promote the use of strategy is by asking questions that
promote critical thinking. Teachers need to ask questions to promote critical thinking but
this can be an issue for ELL students.
● A way in which teachers can do this is through Bloom and colleagues taxonomy of educational
objectives. This is composed of six levels which are knowledge, comprehension, application,
analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
● A revision of the Bloom’s Taxonomy of educational objectives was made in 2001. In this revised
taxonomy there are also six levels remember,understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create.
● It is possible to reduce the linguistic demands of responses while still promoting higher
levels of thinking.
● It is important to teach ELL’s to begin to construct their own questions. Just as we teach
main stream students to ask questions as they read to promote their comprehension we need to
be careful to teach ELL’s the same comprehension strategies.
