Our professional learning is grounded in the TUMBAO Scaffolding Loop™, a practical, classroom-tested framework that helps educators move from clarity to access to independence.

The loop guides teachers to clarify the core task, identify critical language, select a small set of task-aligned scaffolds, integrate multimodal entry points, and strategically release support—ensuring instruction is rigorous, inclusive, and usable the very next day.

We customize professional development using this framework to meet the specific content, grade levels, and linguistic needs of each school and district.
