Anchor Activities
We all know that not all students learn at the same pace. When some students are ready to move on, a differentiated instruction strategy called Anchors can offer enrichment and deeper meaning to their learning. Anchors are specifically designed activities that aid in deepening student understanding of content and enhance their language skills. These should not be regarded as busy work. They offer meaningful work for students when they finish an assignment or project. Providing students with options in learning activities can increase student achievement and engagement. Anchor activities help meet varying student intelligences and learning styles.
Anchor activities may include extended content, related content, additional practice tasks, or a varied approach to applying information that students have already learned. Anchors can be designed for individuals to complete alone or be created for pairs or other small groups.

El glosario dice actividades de apoyo o soporte. No estoy muy seguro de usarlo. ¿Podría ser actividades ancla o de anclaje? ¿O mantener el término "anchors"?
¿O existe un término acuñado en español como traducción?

Anchor Activities
Anchor Activities (or Sponge Activities) are designed for students to work on either immediately at the beginning of class time or after their class work has been completed, so that their instructional time is maximized. These activities are intended to review or extend learning of the subject matter, not to be busy-work. Activities may be designed for students to complete independently or in small groups.
You may choose to assign particular students to particular tasks or to allow them to choose, when appropriate. All tasks should be relevant to the concepts being developed in class, but some may be more complex than others; there are times when students need the opportunity to do something that is low-stress and less demanding
