This episode explores high-leverage practice number 15: providing scaffolded supports to help all learners succeed. Ann shares practical strategies for identifying student needs, adapting instruction, and embedding scaffolds into everyday classroom routines. From adjusting the environment to leveraging peer support, small groups, and technology, she highlights how scaffolding can be flexible, individualized, and responsive.

The conversation emphasizes that scaffolds are not one-size-fits-all but should be matched to each learner’s strengths, challenges, and context. Ann also underscores the importance of collaboration, whether with colleagues, students, or instructional tools, to expand the range of supports available. Listeners gain a clear picture of how scaffolding functions as part of a dynamic, student-centered classroom that balances structure with responsiveness.
