With my previous experience in the class, I know that students have individual needs.
-extra help
-ahead of curriculum so needs more challenging material
-scaffolding
I also know that there are different ways to learn:
-visually
-auditory
-kinesthetic
-reading/writing
Making sure to teach well rounded in these different styles can help children learn.

Understanding scaffolding and applying it to those who are in need is really critical for student understanding. I think we educators have to master finding each students ZPD so that we can help lift them into mastery. I also learned that academic language is very important, so being able to identify words the students may not understand and teaching them the vocabulary can help with their success later.

Every child is unique and in that has a unique way of learning. There is no universal way to teach students, as each student learns different and will require different things from their teacher. This is why scaffolding and using different modalities in teaching are so important. I know that children can be visual, auditory, kinesthetic, verbal, or do it yourself type of learners. Appealing to all of these different types of learners will show that, as a teacher, you care about your class as a whole. In addition, I know that seeing things as an assest in children's learning rather than an issue can change the game for student's learning. Students do better when they know someone believes in them.

Well, one of the things that I learned was how to use this, KWL, strategy in teaching and how it can benefit students by stimulating discussion and allowing you as the teacher to design lessons around student interest. I learned about Piaget and his 4 stages of development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. I learned about Vygotsky and how he strongly believes in modeling as students gain knowledge by the help of others. Vygotsky also believed in scaffolding and working within a child's zone of proximal development. Basically we do not want to challenge students way too much or too little, we want to challenge them just enough for them to grow. Lastly, I learned about the 3 tiers of academic language. Tier 1 is basic vocabulary that students know and see consistently. Tier 2 is vocabulary that students might not know, but is still seen across subjects. Tier 3 is vocabulary that is content specific and is harder for children to know.

- Funds of knowledge: students have intrinsic bank of information gathered from their immediate surroundings, family, culture, media, etc
- 9 types of intelligence, we have elements of all but excel in certain areas
- Information is best learned when broken down, and we build on previous concepts
- most children think and learn in "concrete" thinking, are able to transition to abstract thinking as they grow through adolescence
- teachers should utilize multiple means of modeling and engagement to support learning

Based on my personal observations and readings from previous classes, students learn in environments by:
-using their sensory skills of visual, auditory, and tactile
-their specific mixture of multiple intelligences of linguistic, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalistic, and mathematical.
-peer interaction/group work
-engaging lessons/student-focused learning
-text to self-connection, text to text, text to world
-having someone "champion" them!

I know that lessons should be constructed to connect to the students. Lessons should activate students' prior knowledge and make new information meaningful. Teachers should provide directions both orally and written to ensure that students fully comprehend what they need to do to achieve in the classroom. Each student learns in different ways (visually, auditory, kinesthetic, reading/writing).

I learned how to support my students using academic language. Also, using the tiered system which promotes being able to place my students in groups so that we can work on vocabulary and build on that.

I learned that I can use some scaffolding strategies that I plan to use with my students. For example, pause, ask questions, pause and review.

· All children develop at their own pace and learn differently.

· Every student is different with an individual way of learning and their own set of needs.

·  They have different learning styles Visual: learn by seeing, Auditory: learn by hearing, Read/ Write: learn by reading and writing and Kinesthetic: learn by doing.

· They learn best by hands-on, collaborating and playing.

The learning process is unique to every individual. There are different styles of learning that include visual, auditory. kinesthetics or a combination.

I learned that some students need only a few scaffolding steps to reach the learning objective, while other students need the task broken down into smaller and simpler steps to reach the goal. Every student learns differently and some might need extra support. I also learned that in order to meet students where they are and  appropriately scaffold a lesson we have to know the student's individual zone of proximal development.

Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development theory can help me, the teacher, understand how to approach different learning levels.  Vygotsky believed that when a student is in the zone of proximal development for a particular task, providing the appropriate assistance will give the student enough of a "boost" to achieve the task. I think this theory is very helpful for student growth and learning. -Alexandra Sandoval

After viewing the readings and videos, I have come to learn that children do no fit into just one style of learning. Learning for each individual is just that, individual! When we as educators can grasp there is a vast understanding of how universally people can learn new concepts, we find that theories can become the blanket that covers learning materials. I learned that through Piaget's theories, children "construct" meanings to the world based on their surroundings and self-experience. Another theory I learned was that of Vygotsky's explanation of how children need a lending hand before expanding the subject and knowing it independently. In these theories, I learned that when exposing students to new concepts, I can use prior knowledge to build on defining and guiding towards our learning objective, and slowly take off the "training wheels".

I learned tier one consists of the most basic words rarely requiring instruction in school. Tier Two words are high-frequency words for mature language users and instruction in these words can add productively to an individual's language ability. Tier Three includes words whose frequency of use is quite low, often being limited to specific domains and probably best learned when needed in a content area.

I learned the importance of scaffolding and how it can help students understand the subject better. Especially in a dual immersion program, kids will not always understand instructions right away. Having a multicultural classroom is also very important. Students need to see themselves in the best light in the classroom setting. They also need to learn about others and the different backgrounds cultures we all have.
Bianca Lopez

I learned about the tiers of high frequency words, and how to categorize them. I also learned some strategies for scaffolding vocabulary lessons for students, especially in tandem with reading and literacy skills. Students benefit from a rich, multicultural, interactive classroom where they receive input in a variety of ways, and from more knowledgeable others
Vygostky and Piaget learning theories were a good review of the different ways students learn and the cognitive and physical pieces needed for children to learn new things.

I learned that activating APK (Activate prior knowledge) is essential step in preparing students for the later content in the lesson.  Also, that if we want learning to be deep and meaningful, not surface level, we first need to activate or remind students what they already know. Not connecting students to schema can make it very difficult for students to move into the upper levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. We need to build on context to the new learning this is essential for English language Learners. KWL is a strategy to use to activate background knowledge. Learning occurs when we are active, not passive. It is very important to learn how children think and reason to set learning objectives for them. MKO (More knowledgeable Other) could support a child in achieving a level of cognition without the social interaction with parent and teacher child could not reach. When planning lesson activities is important to apply Scaffolding and Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Culture plays in important part in learning. Founds of knowledge uses students’ assets to make learning experiences more relevant and connected to the students.  Using sentence frames helps English Language Learners.

Before this session, I knew what tier 1,2,3 words were but my understanding of the difference between them was a little spotty. I know now that the difference is fairly academic based and pretty much based on each specific type of reading. a tier 3 word in one book could be a tier 1 word in a different reading which is incredibly interesting to me.
Something else I knew a little bit about but not fully was the idea of scaffolding in the classroom and how it can help you with your lesson plans and help the development of the kids in your classroom. Students can benefit from so many different forms of learning in the classroom so it is important to remain diverse in your teachings.

# data[].attributes.body
During this module, I learned about the multiple different scaffolding strategies. I think it's so important to recongize that different students are going to have different needs in regards to scaffolding. I also became familiar with a KWL chart and how it can benefit students by encouraging discussions and allowing you as the teacher to create lessons around what they students are interested in.

I learned that scaffolding is an important part of teaching that supports student learning and understanding. It is important to incorporate the ways that each child learns best and also allow them to help each other and build their own support of learning.

Scaffolding is such an important part of being an educator. I have been told by my CT that she loves the way I use scaffolding, and yet I felt as if I didn't truly understand what it meant. I have learned that the way I naturally teach leans towards building upon prior knowledge, and what I have already taught. Building, and building upon these ideas until the lesson is complete, and the thought has been absorbed.
