Training description
This full-day training is divided into two sections:

  • Layers of Meaning, A Toolkit for Vocabulary
    Development Introduces research and classroom strategies for vocabulary development based on the work of Marzano, Beck, and Kinsella; develops this key area of literacy for all learners that is particularly critical for ELLs.
