Coffee and snacks provided. Lunch on your own.
Course # 18551017
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This presentation focuses on how to help students "own" academic vocabulary. As teachers, we know that comprehension cannot occur without a strong vocabulary base. Research suggests that students need multiple exposures to transfer words from the "I don't know" category to established knowledge where they are empowered to use the word correctly. We will explore Tier I and II words, engage in hands-on learning that demystifies new/unfamiliar words, and learn how to use repetition in meaningful contexts. You'll leave this session, wanting to try out these active learning activities that help students become word wizards.
Bring your laptops or wireless device.
