Academic vocabulary is one of the best predictors of scholastic achievement, yet educators face the challenge of profound differences in vocabulary knowledge among the students they teach, especially in the midst of the pandemic.   By focusing on vocabulary strategies with the highest effect sizes for increasing student achievement, educators can boost learning for all students through simply rethinking how vocabulary is presented--without additional prep time. This four-part training series will focus on easy-to-plan, high-impact strategies to strengthen vocabulary instruction and student learning in any content area or discipline.   Educators will walk away armed with strategies to increase student vocabulary size and learning of course content—a win-win for students and teachers alike!
