Part 1 Directions:
1. Building off of your postwork from Presenting Instructional Content: Introducing New Material, incorporate
two scaffolds into your double plan. Remember to include any explicit instructions for using the scaffolds you
have chosen.
● Hint: Copy your INM double plan, paste it in the table below, then add your scaffolds.
Remember the key elements of effective scaffolds:
1. Purposeful Alignment to the Learning Goal
● The scaffold must be anchored to the lesson’s objective—not just busywork or unrelated
support.
● It should target a specific barrier to understanding (e.g., unfamiliar vocabulary, background
knowledge, or complex reasoning).
2. Cognitive Load Reduction (Not Elimination)
● Scaffolds should lighten the load, not do the thinking for students.
● They reduce distractions or secondary challenges so students can focus on the
to-be-remembered content.
3. Tool for Effortful Thinking and Discourse
● Scaffolds should support—not shortcut—thinking and talking about math.
2. Download this document as a PDF and submit it in Submission #2.
Part 2 Directions:
1. Rehearse your full INM double plan with the scaffolds.
2. Record your video directly into Canopy.
