Grades 6-12: Strategies for Using OAT & OGT Vocabulary


September 30, 2008
3:45-4:45 PM

Strategies for Using OAT and OGT Vocabulary
How does effective vocabulary teaching and learning impact student understanding of grade-level indicators and benchmarks? Are you familiar with the vocabulary that students will encounter on state achievement tests? Whether you are a classroom teacher or building administrator, it is crucial for educators to understand the impact that vocabulary usage has on student’s academic content knowledge and skills. This training focuses on standard-based strategies that help teachers implement indicator vocabulary terms, indicator verb phrases, and testing terms into daily instruction.
The use of MVESCs “Indicator Sentence Strips” will also be demonstrated for building student vocabulary.

CEU’s are available to those who attend. The cost for each hour long PD session is $75.00 per site (no limit to those attending from that site).
