Each webinar focuses on a different scaffolding topic—background knowledge, vocabulary, and close reading—using English language arts as the target content area. The presentations include research-based pedagogical approaches and concrete ideas for teachers to successfully support ELLs in meeting college and career ready standards, with a focus on reading text.

Each webinar includes interactive examples of pedagogical practices and concludes with time for participants to ask questions and to engage in a discussion about implications and implementation.

Lisa Tabaku
Principal Researcher, AIR
