Scaffolding for High Expectations
Wednesday May 27, 2026 2:30pm - 4:00pm CDT
Main Gym
This session centers on designing scaffolds that lift students up to the rigor of the standards rather than protecting them from it. We will learn how to analyze the cognitive demand of a task, identify the precise skills students need, and build supports that maintain—not dilute—high expectations. We’ll examine how intentional scaffolding helps every learner reach ambitious goals. We will practice modeling thinking, anticipating misconceptions, and creating step‑by‑step pathways that gradually release responsibility while ensuring all students can access complex learning.
