Teaching vocabulary effectively is an essential skill that all educators need to develop. This remote PD helps teachers understand the difference between teaching to rent and teaching to own. All participants leave this session with a renewed sense of what is really involved in learning vocabulary and how they can positively impact this in their classrooms.
The Principles and Practices of Vocabulary Teaching

The Principles and Practices of Teaching Vocabulary is a powerful look at what vocabulary teaching and learning are all about. This PD examines what it means to learn vocabulary and how that informs us on the way vocabulary should be taught.
By looking at model lessons, participating teachers discover the four components of vocabulary and learn ways to get students to interact with vocabulary in meaningful ways. Here is what participants gain from this PD: |
