Exciting opportunity

A year 7 teacher asked me to 'introduce her classes to lifelong learning'! So I revised a scaffold I developed several years ago based on the DET model and showed it to her. She said that was exactly what she wanted and when I presented the model to her classes she was very complimentary. The scaffold is available online for students to copy and use and I also gave them a print version which she said they would use in class. The next morning one of the boys came to me in the library to thank me for the presentation and show me something he had written based on part of the scaffold. Very encouraging and exciting. I have now decided that I need to create a contents page for the online version to facilitate navigation.
