Using academic vocabulary in the classroom is one

Using academic vocabulary in the classroom is one of the best tools that we can add to our teacher tool box. Often times, one of the pitfalls that our students encounter is that they do not understand exactly WHAT the question is asking. One way that we can help our students to over come this pitfall is exposure, exposure, exposure! Be sure to use academic vocabulary in your classroom when you ask your students questions. Instead of saying, “What literary devices do you see?” Try saying, “What does the author’s use of figurative language help you to understand?” Using vocabulary that students may be unfamiliar with day in and day out helps to make questions less intimidating. It also aids in great conversation that will help to clarify meaning.

Meet a Consultant, Randi Whitney!

Randi Whitney, a 25-year educator (Goose Creek ISD and Pasadena ISD), began her teaching career as a kindergarten teacher until she was asked to move to fifth grade to help students with writing. Taking on the challenge with a mindset that Language Arts should have manipulatives, too, Whitney began developing activities to teach the toughest and most abstract concepts within reading and writing. Before long, her students began loving to read with enthusiasm and write with VOICE. Upon unlocking these mysteries with Teach BIG methodology, Whitney became a much sought-after educator, speaker, author, and trainer. The last twenty years have been spent inspiring fellow teachers by keeping up with new brain-based techniques, writing over 50 books, obtaining multiple trademarks, and spreading her vision to Teach BIG – Believe In Greatness.
