SUMMARY:Conference Presentation: From Support to Independence Fading Scaffolds in the Science Classroom
DESCRIPTION:“From Support to Independence Fading Scaffolds in the Science Classroom“\nEvent: NSTA 2026 Conference\nDate: Wednesday\, April 17\, 9:20 AM\nSession Format: Presentation \nLocation: Platinum Ballroom 2\nPresenters: \n     Maria Cieslak (Center for Applied Linguistics) \nDescription: \nMultilingual learners often need extra support to fully engage with science content\, but the goal is independence. In this session\, elementary teachers will explore strategies for creating scaffolds that provide just the right amount of support\, then systematically fade them as students gain knowledge\, language skills\, and confidence. Through examples\, hands-on activities\, and discussion\, participants will learn how to scaffold science investigations\, discussions\, and writing so students can move from guided participation to independent problem-solving. Teachers will leave with practical\, classroom-ready approaches to support multilingual learners’ language and content growth while fostering independence\, curiosity\, and a love of science. One Main Takeaway: Develop strategies to fade scaffolds effectively for multilingual learners in science\, supporting a transition from guided participation to independent thinking while fostering curiosity and mastery.
