Vocabulary Strategies for Multilingual Learners (Project GLAD®)
Course Description:
This course equips participants with seven practical and effective strategies for teaching vocabulary to multilingual learners. Each strategy is part of the larger OCDE Project GLAD® (Guided Language Acquisition Design) professional learning model, dedicated to building academic language and literacy specifically for those learning a new language. During our six weeks together, participants receive an introduction to the OCDE Project GLAD® model and go in-depth with each strategy. The course covers the rationale and research supporting why and when to use each strategy, how to prep the materials, steps for classroom delivery with demonstration videos at various grade levels, and extensions and modifications specific to your context. Participants will prepare (and teach, if school is in session) each strategy with instructor coaching. This course is for K-8 educators and is conducted in English.
