Description:

Join Busboys and Poets Books for an afternoon of education and a FREE interactive workshop on the SCAFFOLDING techniques that have been sweeping the European educational community. Scaffolding is proven to raise students' classroom engagement, desire to learn and test scores.

• Learn how scaffolding (activities that pre-teach key concepts and language) will help your students transition into difficult material with ease.

• You'll leave with materials that you can adapt easily into lessons targeting ALL levels (K-16).

Dr. Fields is an internationally acclaimed expert on scaffolding techniques, targeting workshops to specific educational systems as diverse as Mexico, Finland, Spain, Brazil and France. With years of exceptionally creative and engaging classroom experience, her interactive workshop is based on her book, 101 Scaffolding Techniques for Language Teaching and Learning. See her award-nominated website for further background and amazing teaching resources: scaffoldingmagic.com

This event is co-sponsored by Scaffoldingmagic.com. SCAFFOLDINGMAGIC.COM is a website that offers resources for ESL/EFL, language/content (CLIL), and project-based lessons in digital and hardcopy formats.
