Workshop #6 – Instructional Scaffolding: A Framework for Community-Level Prevention Curriculum
Wednesday, August 12th @ 11:30am
Presentation Abstract: When educators scaffold instruction, they typically break up a learning experience, concept, or skill into discrete parts, and then give students the assistance they need to learn each part. These discrete parts provide a foundation for teaching the next, slightly more difficult, skill or concept. This workshop proposes to share how the concept of scaffolding can be applied to prevention curriculum development while providing preventionists with specific examples to develop a community-level prevention curriculum or plan.
Presenters: Carla A. Thompson, M.Ed. (she/her), Erin Ostling Burkholder, MBA (she/her), and Aruna Manisekaran, MPH (she/her)
