Vocabulary
TEACHER QUALITY
Many students lack the academic language necessary
to attain academic success. By not providing students
with the opportunity to obtain language necessary for
academic discourse, teachers are hindering student
learning. Participants will go through the basics of
understanding and comprehending why vocabulary
development and academic discourse are crucial to the
success of English Language Learners. They will also
learn what to look for pertaining to academic discourse
and vocabulary development when conducting
classroom observations and walk-throughs.
