Working with at-promise youth does require that we as educators are their partners in equipping those students with verbal tools powerful enough to bring their thoughts to light. Join us for a frank conversation about the correlations among vocabulary and college readiness, career advancement, and a general sense of well-being. Throughout our conversation, we will:
- Analyze the empirical research base correlating vocabulary with success within and beyond school
- Evaluate the role of wide reading as a vehicle for vocabulary acquisition
- Compare three proven strategies to bring greater depth and breadth to students’ vocabularies
- Shed light on our own thoughts as we engage in chat, online polls and Q&A
