Research in Action: Scaffolding for Independence

Join P.K. Yonge and the Center for the Collaborative Classroom for a professional learning day dedicated to:

• Discussing issues of practice
• Observing lessons
• Collecting evidence of student thinking and behavior
• Debriefing and analyzing data
• Discussing implications for improving 

Collegial conversations and lesson experiences in Being a Reader and SIPPS will ground participants in the research and consider the following questions:

• What evidence did you see of the balance of scaffolding and promoting independence?
• How did the teacher’s questioning or feedback encourage deeper thinking from students?
• What shifts in mindset or practice might be necessary to achieve similar results in your own teaching or leadership?
