Betsy Markman slides: This is a FANTASTIC presentation that includes so many examples, photos and links. The amazing Betsy Markman created a slide presentation to help regular education classroom teachers with ELs in their classes. If you are doing PD for reg. ed., start here. Definitely my favorite resource on this topic! 

Betsy Markman's thorough Math presentation. Many photos and examples. 

Valentina Gonzales Infographics: Why I like them- "Short and sweet and hard to beat!"  Friendly, brightly colored,  and a quick read.  Great for teacher training, new teacher orientation, or newsletters. I leave copies in my substitute notes too. https://elementaryenglishlanguagelearners.weebly.com/infographics.html @ValentinaESL

Tan Huynh's "Bathroom Brief's": In Tan's words- "All educators are teachers of language, but not every educator has time to learn the strategies to teach language. That’s the purpose of Bathroom Briefs (BB). Each Monday, I physically post a new BB in the faculty bathroom.  They offer a quick, easily accessible strategy that can be used cross-content." 

You are free to use these, modify them, translate them as needed. Please just reference that you got them from his site. He’d love to see how you use them and share them on Twitter, so please tag him. (@TanELLclassom)

Probably the most comprehensive guide to scaffolding.
