Learn how one California county office of education has immersed itself in vocabulary. Elfrieda H. Hiebert, Adjunct Professor at the University of California at Berkeley and facilitator of the California Vocabulary Forum (CVF), and Frank Smith, Director of Elementary Education at the Stanislaus County Office OF Education, will lead this webinar highlighting a county-wide effort emanating from the California Vocabulary Forum. Each grade span (elementary, middle to high school) has focused on a particular kind of vocabulary activity. For each vocabulary activity, an appropriate assessment was identified to verify that students were making the necessary gains. This presentation will provide examples of activities and assessments with photos of classrooms and interviews with teachers and county staff.
