About the Course

This class will focus on strategies that will help classroom teachers scaffold and build Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary lessons. We will be using lessons and texts from Laura Robb’s book, Vocabulary is Comprehension: Getting to the Root of Text Complexity, so teachers will leave with a working portfolio of already created lessons. We will also study how to differentiate the vocabulary and how to frontload vocabulary for complex texts. In addition, we will create mini-lessons that are engaging and motivating for students, learn how to engage students by using interactive website/apps like Quizlet to encourage participation and risk-taking.
