Supporting All Students: Resource Guides for Scaffolding Instruction of English Language Arts and Mathematics
The Supporting All Students Resource Guides were designed through collaboration between the New York State Education Department and partners in the field. The purpose of these guides is to provide teachers with examples of scaffolds and strategies to supplement their instruction of English language arts (ELA) and mathematics curricula. The guides use the EngageNY ELA and mathematics modules as exemplars since they are free and open source curricula available for all New York State educators.
