2018 AISD Science + Mathematics X Conference

Purposeful planning provides a structure that encourages teachers to identify essential academic vocabulary and plan how they will support targeted words during instruction. This information is then used to construct interactive word walls and plan powerful, age-appropriate vocabulary building experiences for students. This vocabulary-driven process focuses team meetings and ensures that all lesson materials are aligned to standards with fidelity and it supports a robust and informed review of instructional materials. In this session, we will review a Vocabulary Planning Document that provides a systematic approach to selecting vocabulary and lesson materials that are aligned with standards.
