As educators, making the most of our limited time with ELL students is crucial. But what exactly should you be teaching English language learners to ensure effective learning outcomes?In this episode of Equipping ELLs, host Beth Vaucher provides essential guidance for educators on determining what to teach their ELLs. This episode builds on previous discussions about understanding your students and the Silent Period, focusing on how to choose appropriate lessons based on students' backgrounds and proficiency levels. We explore four key types of lessons—Foundational English, Content-Focused with Scaffolds, Domain-Specific Instruction, and Skill-Specific Lessons—each tailored to different learning needs and stages. Listeners will gain practical tips for aligning instruction with student needs, making informed teaching decisions, and creating a supportive learning environment. Tune in to enhance your ELL teaching strategies, to better support your students' academic growth, and to make the most of your instructional and planning time.Resources: ⁠⁠⁠Join the Equipping ELLs MembershipShop our TpT Store

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Auto-Enhance: Developing a meta-benchmark to measure LLM agents' ability to improve other agents, published by Sam Brown on July 22, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Summary Scaffolded LLM agents are, in principle, able to execute arbitrary code to achieve the goals they have been set. One such goal could be self-improvement. This post outlines our plans to build a benchmark to measure the ability of LLM agents to modify and improve other LLM agents. This 'Auto-Enhancement benchmark' measures the ability of 'top-level' agents to improve the performance of 'reference' agents on 'component' benchmarks, such as CyberSecEval 2, MLAgentBench, SWE-bench, and WMDP. Results are mostly left for a future post in the coming weeks. Scaffolds such as AutoGPT, ReAct, and SWE-agent can be built around LLMs to build LLM agents, with abilities such as long-term planning and context-window management to enable them to carry out complex general-purpose tasks autonomously. LLM agents can fix issues in large, complex code bases (see SWE-bench), and interact in a general way using web browsers, Linux shells, and Python interpreters. In this post, we outline our plans for a project to measure these LLM agents' ability to modify other LLM agents, undertaken as part of Axiom Futures' Alignment Research Fellowship. Our proposed benchmark consists of "enhancement tasks," which measure the ability of an LLM agent to improve the performance of another LLM agent (which may be a clone of the first agent) on various tasks. Our benchmark uses existing benchmarks as components to measure LLM agent capabilities in various domains, such as software engineering, cybersecurity exploitation, and others. We believe these benchmarks are consequential in the sense that good performance by agents on these tasks should be concerning for us. We plan to write an update post with our results at the end of the Fellowship, and we will link this post to that update. Motivation Agents are capable of complex SWE tasks (see, e.g., Yang et al.). One such task could be the improvement of other scaffolded agents. This capability would be a key component of autonomous replication and adaptation (ARA), and we believe it would be generally recognised as an important step towards extreme capabilities. This post outlines our initial plans for developing a novel benchmark that aims to measure the ability of LLM-based agents to improve other LLM-based agents, including those that are as capable as themselves. Threat model We present two threat models that aim to capture how AI systems may develop super-intelligent capabilities. Expediting AI research: Recent trends show how researchers are leveraging LLMs to expedite academic paper reviews (see Du et al.). ML researchers are beginning to use LLMs to design and train more advanced models (see Cotra's AIs accelerating AI research and Anthropic's work on Constitutional AI). Such LLM-assisted research may expedite progress toward super-intelligent systems. Autonomy: Another way that such capabilities are developed is through LLM agents themselves becoming competent enough to self-modify and further ML research without human assistance (see section Hard Takeoff in this note ), leading to an autonomously replicating and adapting system. Our proposed benchmark aims to quantify the ability of LLM agents to bring about such recursive self-improvement, either with or without detailed human supervision. Categories of bottlenecks and overhang risks We posit that there are three distinct categories of bottlenecks to LLM agent capabilities: 1. Architectures-of-thought, such as structured planning, progress-summarisation, hierarchy of agents, self-critique, chain-of-thought, self-consistency, prompt engineering/elicitation, and so on. Broadly speaking, this encompasses everything between the LL...

Kate and Ryan are joined by Dave Sharrock to talk about the use of Scaffolds to help scale and transform change in organizations.

The literacy space has become increasingly polarizing since the reading wars began.There are a number of debates and questions that continue, including:Will kids learn to read “naturally”? What did the whole language approach get right, if anything?Is explicit phonics instruction just a pendulum swing (and is focusing on phonics enough)?Are we teaching kids to read too early? When we talk about “early literacy” instruction, what are we actually recommending and how does that look? I invited Jane Gebers, veteran speech-language pathologist and author to episode 157 De Facto Leaders to discuss these questions. I entered the field right around the time the National Reading Panel study was published, so there was a fair amount of research on evidence-based literacy intervention when I started practicing. But when Jane started practicing, much of this research hadn't been done, and she had the experience of watching the fields of education and reading instruction evolve. She was also one of the early adopters of many approaches that are common practice today, and it was an honor to hear about her work. Jane L. Gebers is the author of the popular resource, Books Are for Talking, Too! (Link here: https://www.slpstorytellers.com/2023/09/11/slp-author-book-books-are-for-talking-too-by-jane-gebers/), first published in 1990, and now in its 4th edition as of March 2023. A practicing speech-language pathologist for over 40 years, she has worked in public school, hospital, private, and clinical settings. She has been an adjunct professor at St. Mary's College of California and other universities where she taught Language Development, Assessment, and Intervention courses to students pursuing special education credentials. She currently holds a private practice in Northern California.In this conversation, Jane and I discuss:✅Everyone's talking about “scaffolding”, but what does this word actually mean?✅Reading practices that have stood the test of time, despite attempts to disprove their effectiveness.✅The battle between play-based learning and “sight words”; and how to emphasize the right skills at the right time.✅When building language skills, do we focus on a developmental hierarchy or environmental demands? ✅Mapping language to print symbols and what to address in the early years to set the stage for reading and writing. You can connect with Jane on her website here: https://soundingyourbest.com, and find her book, Books Are for Talking, Too! here: https://www.slpstorytellers.com/2023/09/11/slp-author-book-books-are-for-talking-too-by-jane-gebers/  The following resources were mentioned in this episode:Some of the work done by Dr. Carol Westby, Ph.D. (Link here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/152574019902100107)The Neuroscience of Reading with Dr. G.

I've always made it a priority of mine to find simple yet effective strategies that support literacy teachers in the classroom. One of our main jobs as literacy teachers is to provide our students with the skills to become successful readers and writers. And one way to do that is by giving your students scaffolds to support their literacy growth and development. So, in today's episode, I'm sharing three effective scaffolds that I believe every literacy teacher should be using with their students.Reading scaffolds are necessary tools in the upper elementary classroom. They're designed to support all learners as they develop their literacy skills, which eventually leads to comprehension of a variety of texts. There are three different effective scaffolds that should be staples in your classroom. With each scaffold, I share how it will enhance a student's reading comprehension, a variety of ways to use them, and provide specific examples that you can easily incorporate during your literacy lessons. By using scaffolds in your classroom, you are providing temporary support that helps students accomplish tasks they can't yet manage on their own. And while you might have heard of these effective scaffolds, it's important to know how to successfully use them in order to better support the needs of your students. So, the next time you're asking students to formulate their own ideas, make sure to take advantage of these scaffolds available to you.

It seems every improvement in the quality of life has inadvertently decreased the value of human effort. The only way that marginalized humanity will find meaningful life's is if they become their own inventors and designers of a meaningful existence. No one can do it for them. But maybe we could reward inventiveness instead of hopeless victimhood.

Today we're going to talk about a company that makes scaffolds – not for buildings, but scaffolds that can be implanted into the human body for bones and tissues to grow.  Started in 1992, our guest is Osteopore, an Australian and Singapore based medical technology company commercialising a range of products specifically engineered to facilitate natural bone healing across multiple therapeutic areas.  One of the firm's products included the Osteomesh, which is a mesh-like polymer scaffold that can be implanted into patients' skulls to help them regenerate bone tissues that were taken out in surgical procedures.  Other products include those that can be used for rhinoplasty or a nose implant surgery, as well as those that can be used for jaw surgeries to help people eat and speak normally after injuries.  The firm was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in September 2019 and had achieved a milestone of 80,000 implants across all major continents in 2022.  But how does Osteopore commercialise its products, and are its patients using its implants also its customers? How does it then assess its relationship with insurers?  Speaking of insurers, Osteopore announced in May last year that the most prominent medical scheme in South Africa, the Discovery Health Medical Scheme (DHMS) has approved the reimbursement of its Osteomesh product. But how big is the South African market to Osteopore and how important is this to the firm's top and bottom lines?  Meanwhile, the firm had in September 2023 signed an agreement with Temasek-linked InnoVentures to commercialise Osteopore's orthopaedic products in China, but how much money does this represent for the company? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Dr Lim Jing, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer at Osteopore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.25.532115v1?rss=1 Authors: Saberi, A., Paquola, C., Wagstyl, K., Hettwer, M. D., Bernhardt, B., Eickhoff, S. B., Valk, S. L. Abstract: The human neocortex consists of tangentially organized layers with unique cytoarchitectural properties. These layers show spatial variations in thickness and cytoarchitecture across the neocortex, which is thought to support brain function through enabling targeted corticocortical connections. Here, leveraging maps of the six cortical layers in 3D human brain histology, we aimed to quantitatively characterize the systematic covariation of laminar structure in the cortex and its functional consequences. After correcting for the effect of cortical curvature, we identified a spatial pattern of changes in laminar thickness covariance from lateral frontal to posterior occipital regions, which differentiated the dominance of infra- versus supragranular layer thickness. Corresponding to the laminar regularities of cortical connections along cortical hierarchy, the infragranular-dominant pattern of laminar thickness was associated with higher hierarchical positions of regions, mapped based on resting-state effective connectivity in humans and tract-tracing of structural connections in macaques. Moreover, we show that regions with comparable laminar thickness patterns correspond to inter-regional structural covariance, maturational coupling, and transcriptomic patterning, indicating developmental relevance. In sum, here we characterize the association between organization of laminar thickness and processing hierarchy, anchored in ontogeny. As such, we illustrate how laminar organization may provide a foundational principle ultimately supporting human cognitive functioning. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.02.530905v1?rss=1 Authors: Zhang, Y., Seemann, J. Abstract: The mammalian Golgi apparatus is composed of stacks of cisternae that are laterally linked to form a continuous ribbon like structure, but the molecular mechanisms that maintain the Golgi ribbon remain unclear. Here, we show that ribbon formation is mediated by biomolecular condensates of RNA and the Golgi resident protein GM130. We identified GM130 as a membrane-bound RNA binding protein at the Golgi. Acute degradation of either RNA or GM130 in cells disrupted the Golgi ribbon. Under stress conditions, RNA was displaced from GM130 and the ribbon was disjoint, which was restored after cells recovered from stress. When overexpressed in cells, GM130 formed RNA-dependent liquid-like condensates. GM130 contains an intrinsically disordered domain at its N-terminus, which was sufficient to recruit RNA to drive condensate assembly in vitro. Condensates of the N-terminal domain of GM130 and RNA were sufficient to link purified rat liver Golgi membranes which is a reconstruction of aspects of lateral linking of stacks into a ribbon-like structure. Together, these studies reveal that biomolecular condensates of GM130-RNA scaffold the Golgi ribbon. Copy rights belong to original authors.

L., Strickland, T., Nesbitt, J. J., Lim, K., Schwarzbauer, J. E., Schwartz, J., Yaszemski, M. J., Windebank, A. J., Madigan, N. N. Abstract: The spinal cord has poor ability to regenerate after injury, which may be due to cell loss, cyst formation, inflammation, and scarring. A promising approach to treat spinal cord injury (SCI) is the use of biomaterials. We have developed a novel hydrogel scaffold fabricated from oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) (OPF) as a 0.08 mm thick sheet containing polymer ridges and a cell-attractive surface chemistry on the other side. When the cells are cultured on OPF with the chemical patterning, the cells attach, align, and deposit ECM along the direction of the pattern. Animals implanted with the rolled scaffold sheets had greater hindlimb recovery compared to the multichannel scaffold control, likely due to the greater number of axons growing across. Inflammation, scarring, and ECM deposits were equal across conditions. Overall, the results suggest that the scaffold sheets promote axon outgrowth that can be guided across the scaffold, thereby promoting hindlimb recovery. Copy rights belong to original authors.

WFIRM talks to Richard Rapoza, PhD about Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds.

Background: Tissue engineering approaches for reconstruction of large bone defects are still technically immature, especially in regard to sufficient blood supply. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of osteogenic stimulation and treatment with VEGF on new bone formation and neovascularization in hMSC-loaded cancellous bone scaffolds in vivo. Methods: Cubic scaffolds were seeded with hMSC and either cultured in stem cell medium or osteogenic stimulation medium. One osteogenically stimulated group was additionally treated with 0.8 mu g VEGF prior to subcutaneous implantation in athymic mice. After 2 and 12 weeks in vivo, constructs and selected organs were harvested for histological and molecular analysis. Results: Histological analysis revealed similar vascularization of the constructs with and without VEGF treatment and absence of new bone formation in any group. Human DNA was detected in all inoculated scaffolds, but a significant decrease in cells was observed after 2 weeks with no further decrease after 12 weeks in vivo. Conclusion: Under the chosen conditions, osteogenic stimulation and treatment with VEGF does not have any influence on the new bone formation and neovascularization in hMSC-seeded cancellous bone scaffolds.

Microcomputed tomography (mu-CT) is a nondestructive, high-resolution, three-dimensional method of analyzing objects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using mu-CT as a noninvasive method of evaluation for tissue-engineering applications. The polyurethane aortic heart valve scaffold was produced using a spraying technique. Cryopreserved/thawed homograft and biological heart valve were decellularized using a detergent mixture. Human endothelial cells and fibroblasts were derived from saphenous vein segments and were verified by immunocytochemistry. Heart valves were initially seeded with fibroblasts followed by colonization with endothelial cells. Scaffolds were scanned by a mu-CT scanner before and after decellularization as well as after cell seeding. Successful colonization was additionally determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Microcomputed tomography accurately visualized the complex geometry of heart valves. Moreover, an increase in the total volume and wall thickness as well as a decrease in total surface was demonstrated after seeding. A confluent cell distribution on the heart valves after seeding was confirmed by SEM and IHC. We conclude that mu-CT is a new promising noninvasive method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of tissue-engineering processes. ASAIO Journal 2013;59:169-177.

Jennifer Quint (Thorax’s journal club editor) talks to Paolo Macchiarini (professor in the Advanced Center for Translational Regenerative Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm) about using bioartificial scaffolds to replace complex airway defects.Professor Macchiarini was part of a team who replaced the airway of a tracheal cancer patient with a tailor-made bioartificial scaffold. Their paper was recently published in the Lancet:http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2811%2961715-7/abstract#cor1 ,

Da man sich den negativen Auswirkungen der totalen sowie partiellen Meniskektomie bewusst ist, wird seit mehreren Jahren nach einem geeigneten Ersatzmaterial für geschädigtes Meniskusgewebe gesucht. Bisher konnte allerdings keines der getesteten Materialien das Meniskusgewebe zufriedenstellend ersetzen. Daher war es Ziel der vorliegenden Studie, ein neuartiges Scaffold auf seine Fähigkeit geschädigtes Meniskusgewebe zu ersetzen zu untersuchen. Das getestete Scaffold wurde aus Seidenfibroin, einem Hauptbestandteil der Seide der Seidenspinnerraupe Bombyx mori, hergestellt. Viele Materialien aus Seide konnten bereits in anderen Einsatzgebieten durch ihre gute Biokompatibilität sowie durch hervorragende mechanische Eigenschaften überzeugen. Voruntersuchungen der neuartigen Seidenfibroin-Scaffolds zeigten eine durchschnittliche Porengröße von > 100 μm. Zusätzlich konnten in vitro geeignete mechanische Eigenschaften für den Meniskusersatz sowie eine gute Biokompatibilität der Scaffolds nachgewiesen werden. Daher sollte in der vorliegenden Studie in vivo am Schafmodell getestet werden, ob die Seidenfibroin-Scaffolds auch im Kniegelenk biokompatibel sind, ob sie eine ausreichende mechanische Stabilität aufweisen und ob sie die Entstehung degenerativer Knorpelveränderungen verzögern können. Am medialen Meniskus wurde eine partielle Meniskektomie durchgeführt und die Seidenfibroin-Scaffolds in den Meniskusdefekt implantiert. Es gab zwei Scaffold-Gruppen mit unterschiedlichen Untersuchungszeiträumen. In einer Gruppe betrug die Implantationszeit drei Monate. Das Hauptaugenmerk lag in dieser Gruppe auf möglichen Immunreaktionen gegen das Scaffold. In der anderen Scaffold-Gruppe betrug die Implantationszeit sechs Monate. Als orientierende Vergleichsgruppen wurde eine Tiergruppe shamoperiert, bei einer anderen wurde eine Teilresektion durchgeführt. Der Untersuchungszeitraum dieser beiden Gruppen betrug ebenfalls sechs Monate. Im Vergleich der drei Sechsmonatsgruppen war es möglich die Auswirkungen der Scaffoldimplantation auf die Gelenkgesundheit zu beurteilen. Je Versuchsgruppe wurden 9-10 Tiere operiert. Durch makroskopische, histologische und immunchemische Untersuchungen von Gelenkkapsel, Meniskus und Scaffold sowie Gelenkflüssigkeit wurde die Biokompatibilität der Scaffolds im Kniegelenk überprüft. Die histologischen Untersuchungen der Scaffolds ließen Aussagen über die Bioaktivität und das Einwachsverhalten der Scaffolds zu. Mit makroskopischen, biomechanischen und histologischen Untersuchungsmethoden wurde der Degenerationsgrad des artikulären Knorpels bestimmt, um mögliche chondroprotektive Eigenschaften der Scaffolds zu ermitteln. Zusätzlich wurden Scaffold- und Meniskusproben biomechanisch untersucht. So konnte überprüft werden, ob die Scaffolds vor sowie nach Implantation aus mechanischer Sicht geeignet sind, verletztes Meniskusgewebe adäquat zu ersetzen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigen, dass die Seidenfibroin-Scaffolds durchaus Potential für die Anwendung als Meniskusteilersatz haben. Die Biokompatibilität der Scaffolds konnte bestätigt und eine Schädigung des Gelenkknorpels durch die Scaffoldimplantation ausgeschlossen werden. Außerdem scheinen die Scaffolds das Auftreten degenerativer Knorpelveränderungen, wie sie nach partieller Meniskektomie zu beobachten sind, verzögern zu können. Vor Implantation wiesen die Scaffolds eine geringere Steifigkeit auf als das native Meniskusgewebe. Im Laufe der Implantation nahm die Steifigkeit der Scaffolds allerdings zu und unterschied sich nach sechs Monaten nicht mehr signifikant von der Steifigkeit des Meniskus. Auf lange Sicht scheinen die Scaffolds demnach das Meniskusgewebe mechanisch ersetzen zu können. Dies ist besonders wichtig, da die Seidenfibroin-Scaffolds einen dauerhaften Meniskusersatz darstellen und nicht wie andere Materialien einer raschen Resorption und Substitution durch Regenerationsgewebe unterliegen. Allerdings zeigte sich in dieser Studie auch, dass die Fixation der Scaffolds nicht in allen Fällen erfolgreich war. Zudem fand während der Implantationszeit keine Integration der Scaffolds in das Meniskusgewebe statt. Meniskusnah waren zwar einige Scaffoldporen mit Zellen und Bindegewebe gefüllt, eine bindegewebige Verwachsung zwischen Scaffold und Meniskus war hingegen weder nach drei- noch nach sechsmonatiger Implantation zu sehen. Veränderungen der Poreninterkonnektivität, der Porengröße sowie der Fixierbarkeit sind daher vor einem weiteren Einsatz der Scaffolds notwendig. Zudem sollten in einer weiteren in vivo Studie die chondroprotektiven Eigenschaften der Seidenfibroin- Scaffolds über einen längeren Zeitraum untersucht werden.

We developed a new fabrication technique for 3-dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering of human heart valve tissue. A human aortic homograft was scanned with an X-ray computer tomograph. The data derived from the X-ray computed tomogram were processed by a computer-aided design program to reconstruct a human heart valve 3-dimensionally. Based on this stereolithographic model, a silicone valve model resembling a human aortic valve was generated. By taking advantage of the thermoplastic properties of polyglycolic acid as scaffold material, we molded a 3-dimensional scaffold for tissue engineering of human heart valves. The valve scaffold showed a deviation of only +/- 3-4% in height, length and inner diameter compared with the homograft. The newly developed technique allows fabricating custom-made, patient-specific polymeric cardiovascular scaffolds for tissue engineering without requiring any suture materials. Copyright (c) 2008 S.

This study investigates collaborative learning of small groups via text-based com-puter-mediated communication. We analyzed how two approaches to pre-structure communication influence participation, individual knowledge transfer, the conver-gence of participation and the convergence of knowledge among learning partners. We varied the factor "scripted cooperation" and the factor "scaffolding" in a 2x2-design. 105 university students of Pedagogy participated. Results show that scrip-ted cooperation was most and scaffolding least beneficial to individual transfer, knowledge convergence and participation in comparison to open discourse
