What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teachers adapt classroom tasks for English as an Additional Language (EAL) students by adding language supports that preserve cognitive demand, ensuring all learners engage with the same thinking.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Provides language scaffolds (sentence frames, word banks, glossaries, graphic organisers) without changing the task's cognitive requirements.
- Guides teachers on where and how to apply modelling, bridging, contextualising, and other scaffolding strategies.
- Includes a plan for removing scaffolds as proficiency increases, promoting long-term independence across subjects.
Quick Start
Provide the original task, target proficiency, and subject area to generate a scaffolded version that preserves cognitive demand.
