NYSED Investigations Supplementary Scaffolding Project

This team supports the work of the Office of Multilingual Learners by creating resources and professional learning designed to provide MLs/ELLs with access to grade level science content that can be used by educators city-wide.  

This summer, educators on the team will create a set of supplementary scaffolds for MLs/ELLs for each Chemistry and Physics Investigation made by NYSED (6 in total). We are looking for teachers with certification in Chemistry, Physics (or substantial experience teaching Regents-level courses in these subjects) as well as teachers with certification in ESOL. 

This work will be in-person, and will tentatively take place between July 7 - July 18, totaling approximately 36 hours.
