This course will teach you how to use key strategies to help your students acquire new vocabulary, and will provide you with many free resources that you can use right away in your classroom. These strategies and resources will work well for Multilingual Language Learners (MLLs) and ALL students who are learning academic vocabulary. This pro version of the Strategies for Teaching Vocabulary course does not include the Spark+ individualized coaching component and is perfect for those who don't need that extra layer of support as they move through the course material on their own.
