High-quality vocabulary instruction supports student reading comprehension. For middle and secondary students, understanding content-specific vocabulary is essential for comprehending complex texts, participating in rigorous discussions, and demonstrating learning across various subjects. Yet many students struggle to acquire and apply the vocabulary necessary to thrive in content-area classrooms.This full-day workshop equips educators with evidence-based strategies for high-quality vocabulary instruction that can be integrated into any content area. Participants will:
· Examine the role of vocabulary in literacy and learning.
· Explore evidence-based strategies that promote deep understanding.
· Learn how to select and prioritize high‑utility academic and discipline-specific words.
· Collaborate with colleagues to design, make‑, and‑take resources for immediate classroom use.
By the end of the day, teachers will have practical strategies, classroom artifacts, and a clear plan for enhancing vocabulary instruction in their content area classrooms.
