Plug and Plays

Save time. Dive deep. Ready-to-use teacher training modules on specific Teach Like a Champion techniques.


Explicit Vocabulary

This session is designed to train teachers in Explicit Vocabulary Instruction. Explicit Instruction is a deep-dive into the meaning and nuances of one to two words per day with many opportunities for student practice. Explicit Instruction aims to help students understand important and useful words deeply, and model for students how complex, nuanced, and mutable words can be. It is one component of a two-part approach with Implicit Vocabulary Instruction to achieve both depth and breadth of vocabulary knowledge.

Through analysis of master teachers’ techniques and deep practice, participants in the session will develop understanding and strengthen skills with:

  • How to select words that are worthy of teaching in-depth
  • How to teach words deeply so that students understand their nuance and complexity
  • How to support students’ ability to use new words with accuracy and precision
  • How to maintain and extend students’ word knowledge over time
