Lesson 1
- Simple ELL Vocabulary Strategies Course Content
- The video and article will provide you with an understanding of the vocabulary support needs of English Language and explain how you can support vocabulary development at the tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 vocabulary levels. Strategies for support will be offered for each level, along with support documents you can download and use in your classroom. The course also includes some "Reflect or Discuss" prompts to help you connect with the course content and ends with a "Try This Task" to guide you explicitly on how you might implement the ideas into the classroom.
- Quiz
- You will answer questions related to tiered vocabulary levels and English Language Learners. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.
- Implementation Reflection
- The reflection prompt requires you to plan for use of the "try this task" by either reflecting on the content yourself or discussing them with the colleague. You will then discuss a new concept you can attempt to implement in the future based on something you learned in the course.
- Considerations for Implementation
- This short statement helps you reflect on your ideas and assess whether you might be successful in your implementation.
- Videos and Further Reading
- Additional content suggestions are provided to enhance and expand your understanding of ELL vocabulary needs.
