Social Studies: Effective Vocabulary Instruction
- Austin (Main Campus)
- 6 CPE Credits
- $100
Vocabulary demands in secondary social studies can be significant, often creating barriers to deeper content understanding. Join us for a one-day workshop designed to help you focus on the words that matter most—and the strategies that make them stick.
For 6–12 Social Studies Teachers and Instructional Leaders, come learn with us as we:
- Unpack the roles of Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 vocabulary in building disciplinary literacy.
- Explore evidence-based practices that promote word ownership, not just word recognition.
- Experience strategies that embed vocabulary in meaningful, content-rich contexts.
- Discover ways to cultivate a language-rich classroom where all students can access and engage with complex social studies texts and ideas.
