In this webinar from January 2023, Nicole Shimizu and Sheri Kabore, who are both GLAD trainers, shared their knowledge of micro and macro scaffolding. Consider how you or your staff, engages in both micro and macro scaffolding to support its multilingual learners.
I have been in education for over 30 years, from a middle school classroom teacher through a graduate school professor. While I know classrooms well, I have spent the majority of my career working with adult learners and in ed-tech, developing teacher networks and content for learning alongside talented and passionate educators who have inspired me in countless ways. I’m the founder of EIX and former VP of Engagement at Teaching Channel, and I’m currently launching a new start-up, Peopling.me, which is focused on building understanding and empathy in relationships and in our communication. Some of my educational interests and expertise lie in literacy, ed-tech, project-based learning, the neuroscience and psycho-social aspects of learning, motivation, research, leadership, and program and product design and development. My personal interests center around hiking, gardening, cooking, family, pottery, home projects, travel, drone flying, and self-exploration, particularly in relation to others and how to be a better human in every aspect of my life.
