Love when we can get students thinking outside the numbers, even in math! Love the strategy

Their focus on academic vocabulary & interviewing inspires me to interview my own students on their thinking process as they are answering a question.

8th Gr. SS!

Like their strategy of encouraging kids to expand their writing more naturally. (B/c, but, so)

I want to try to pull back some scaffolds to push my students to work more independently and with a bit less support to see what they can do!

For having to find strategies across 4 subjects.

Kudos for revising the plan when the data showed that it wasn’t meeting the needs of your learners!

Vocab strategy sounded interesting and tour reflection was helpful in thinking about the possible pitfalls! Great work!

Shout out to arts department for engaging and visual way of measuring student voice/participation.

Arts- I like to explore the arts’ department strategy since a lot of visuals are involved. I think students will benefit from it as much I am.

Shout out to Arts! Allowing students to reflect on how they connect what the know to new information made available to them is the key

Love the visual aspect from the arts department.

# data[].attributes.body
Like seeing a different aspect of how students learn vocabulary. Students were given the word, sentence and definition and were asked to show their understanding by drawing a picture.

# data[].attributes.body
Having students draw more visual representations of the vocabulary or ideas we are working with. This could help reinforce their learning through a different medium.

# data[].attributes.body
I am excited to try interviewing students on their thought process.

7th grade social studies strategy “because but so “ is useful for both ELA and social studies to reinforce what students have read

I’m excited to try using the 7th grade science Venn diagrams for overlapping vocabulary use! I think it was such a great idea to write how a word is used in science context, and also outside of science. This was a great idea to help students use academic vocabulary in conversation or writing.

I enjoyed the way the ENL department taught vocabulary explicitly towards the beginning of the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Well thought out strategy and consideration of student work!

# data[].attributes.body
I was so excited to see and learn about this new strategy. It’s also great to know that it’s flexible and can be implemented into any content area. This is great for all students those struggling due to language it’s helpful and I’m looking forward to using it.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems clear that we all have students who are struggling with vocabulary in every subject so for next year, I hope to find an effective way to encourage vocabulary comprehension daily.

Visual representations of steps and the ability to visually assess student engagement in academic conversations.

I love the drawings that students make to show their understanding of vocabulary. I think as a teacher you get so much information from students' drawings. In math, this strategy has allowed us to realize that students didn't know what diagonal meant and what a ladder looks like when leaning against a wall.

Would love to keep thinking about the in-depth turn and talk approach you all showcased.

Because-but-so strategy for expanding a sentence and writing more detail. This is great for ELA AND for ENL since we see a lot of students who need support with using these connector words to write more thoroughly and to link ideas within a sentence or paragraph

I really liked the strategy of adding your 2 cents, as well as the A/B conversation protocol. I look forward to using these ideas to get students talking.

8th Grade Social Studies. I loved the braveness of taking away the scaffolds. The "Because, But, So" protocol that replaced the scaffolds seems to be a great first step and they said they would be adding on to it!

The common thread throughout the whole room seemed to be a focus on academic vocabulary. Maybe a refresher especially for staff that is new since 2021

I really enjoyed the interview concept and how a student can show the work on paper but when having them verbally explain there is sometimes a misunderstanding.

Shout out to the teachers for using their vocabulary strategy to expand students knowledge of understanding vocabulary in depth and how is it used within their unit or context taught.
