Excited for 2025! I’ll present at #ASCDAnnual & more on #Scaffolding strategies that empower all learners. Equity First: scaffolding isn’t just support—it’s a pathway to access & excellence. Honored to be a featured speaker at #MSMatters2025 - thank you @heroichistory22.bsky.social! #EduCoach
A slide titled "Scaffolding Benefits All Learners" featuring five interconnected boxes that highlight key strategies for effective scaffolding. Teach to the Top (top left): Icon of a mountain with a flag at the peak. Text: "Start with high expectations and aim for excellence with scaffolding." Design for Inclusivity (top center): Icon of a puzzle piece. Text: "Macro scaffolding ensures that learners can meet those high expectations. Access!" Start Small, Think Big (top right): Icon of a tree with roots and a small sprout. Text: "Implement scaffolding in a practical, step-by-step manner." Use Formative Assessment (bottom left): Icon of gears. Text: "Adapt in real-time by assessing where learners are and adjusting micro scaffolds." Gradually Remove Scaffolds (bottom right): Icon of a bicycle. Text: "Celebrate learner independence while remaining flexible to reintroduce support." The diagram emphasizes a flow of actions, beginning with setting high expectations and designing inclusive scaffolding, followed by implementing scaffolding in small steps, using formative assessments to adapt, and gradually removing scaffolds to encourage independence. A promotional graphic with a green background announcing two major education events coming together in 2025. The text at the top reads, "Two Great Events Coming Together in 2025!" Below it, text in pink says, "I'm Presenting at," followed by logos for the 2025 ASCD Annual Conference and ISTE Live 25. The tagline reads, "Spark Joyful Learning," with the event dates, "June 29–July 2," and location, "San Antonio, Texas," displayed at the bottom. The design features subtle sunburst patterns in the background, emphasizing energy and excitement. A promotional image for the "2025 NCMLE 'Middle School Matters' Conference," taking place March 23–25, 2025, in Charlotte, NC. The graphic features a large starburst highlighting "2024 NC Teacher of the Year Heather Smith" alongside her photo. Surrounding her are photos of other featured speakers, including Cathy Lacey, Dr. Frederick Buskey, Dr. Chris Culver, Jamie Brown, Erik Francis, and Dr. Marie Moreno. Each speaker's name is displayed in white text on a blue circular banner around their photo. The hashtag #MSMatters2025 is centered at the bottom. The design emphasizes collaboration and excitement for the conference.
