Elevate Student Thinking Through Strategic Vocabulary Instruction
Vocabulary demands in secondary social studies can be significant, often creating barriers to deeper content understanding. Join us for a one-day workshop designed to help you focus on the words that matter most—and the strategies that make them stick.
For 6–12 Social Studies Teachers and Instructional Leaders:
Come learn with us as we:
- Unpack the roles of Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 vocabulary in building disciplinary literacy.
- Explore evidence-based practices that promote word ownership, not just word recognition.
- Experience strategies that embed vocabulary in meaningful, content-rich contexts.
- Discover ways to cultivate a language-rich classroom where all students can access and engage with complex social studies texts and ideas.
