The session places special emphasis on using student vocabulary notebooks as a tool for building conceptual understanding, promoting equity for multilingual learners, and monitoring growth.

You will leave with a clear plan to support consistent, cross-disciplinary vocabulary instruction that ensures all students can access complex content.
