Academic Vocabulary Project

Yes, I am blogging about vocabulary resources again! If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you know how much I value vocabulary instruction. Robert Marzano (one of my heroes!) has teamed with the state of Tennessee to create academic vocabulary resources for middle school and high school students. Each of Marzano's prescribed six steps is outlined, and activities with materials are provided for each step. Tennessee has also create word lists that seek to minimize the achievement gap by building background knowledge for students. Check it out here!
