Q2: How can you measure vocab “mastery”? What does it look like when a student has mastered a vocabulary word? #NoVAedChat

techinteaching - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2 I did short quizzes, but I really knew mastery when my Ss could use the focus words during regular convos. That’s #winning. #novaedchat

A1: Students keep a personal dictionary of their vocab. #novaedchat

SeckKimberly Mar 8 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 watching students use vocab flexibly and naturally= deep knowledge of a word #NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Mar 8 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 the ability to use the vocab to produce authentic communication in the TL ... hello PBL!! #novaedchat

PHES_ITC Mar 8 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Ability to use the words in context, correctly and flexibly. I see it happen a lot with my own child now, too. #novaedchat

AnnHillsBennett Mar 8 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: Definitely when Ss can bring the words into class discussion easily and effectively. #NoVAedchat

SeckKimberly Mar 8 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 in reading recovery we studied the levels of knowing a word: applies to all learners #NoVAedchat

AnnHillsBennett Mar 8 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Another way more related to Greek/Latin stems is when students recognize related words and can define them based on context #NoVAedchat

timothy_tanner1 Mar 8 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: When a student has mastered vocab he/she uses the words in writing across the curriculum and uses it in conversations. #novaedchat

Techy_Margaret Mar 8 @ 8:18 PM EST

I love the author videos you create! Showing our Ss we all can use our voice to tell stories & ask ?s #Novaedchat @TraceyJewell @ehmukai

In reply to @TraceyJewell, @ehmukai

ProfeTravis Mar 8 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2 we do daily conversation questions- giving Ss the chance to use the vocab right away in an authentic context #novaedchat

Techy_Margaret Mar 8 @ 8:19 PM EST

What a fun idea! Love that! #novaedchat

In reply to @AnnHillsBennett

Techy_Margaret Mar 8 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2 I love when Ss discuss which word is a better choice. That is really thinking about it to defend a choice #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Mar 8 @ 8:22 PM EST

Ok - here is a bonus question. How do we get Ss to stop at unknown words and use strategies? rather than just push through #NoVAedchat

ProfeTravis Mar 8 @ 8:23 PM EST

written question prompt on the board, spoken response in small groups. 5 minutes of sustained convo in the TL #NoVAedchat

Q3: How do you choose words for vocab instruction? Do you focus on Tier 2 words, Tier 3 words or a mix of both? #NoVAedChat

Techy_Margaret Mar 8 @ 8:25 PM EST

Yep! Was just talking about this with a SS teacher today, how excited he was that students stopped! #NoVAedchat

AnnHillsBennett Mar 8 @ 8:23 PM EST

Yes! This is awesome - especially when they have to place their choice in the context of where they learned the new word
In reply to @Techy_Margaret

ProfeTravis Mar 8 @ 8:26 PM EST

circumlocution is a huge skill in speaking- the strategy IS to push through for us. Context and cognates for reading vocab #novaedchat

A3 I ❤ words that support bldg academic language across curriculums #NoVAedchat

MrHeronMU Mar 8 @ 8:26 PM EST

A1 - Shouldn't need a tracking method. Should just hear a S use the word on a consistent basis. That application lets you know. #Novaedchat

NoVAEdChat Mar 8 @ 8:05 PM EST

Q1: How do you keep track of vocab words students have learned? Share a strategy! #NoVAedChat

AnnHillsBennett Mar 8 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3: In ELA it depends on the text we're working through. Usually a mix. Words often relate to overall themes/symbols of work #NoVAedchat

MrHeronMU Mar 8 @ 8:28 PM EST

A2 a good sign is a S revoicing another S but synthesizing their thinking through appropriate vocabulary. #novaedchat

A3 we're given a monster vocab list each chapter - 50 plus words for 6 blocks 😫 We prioritize into use, know, recognize. #novaedchat

techinteaching - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:30 PM EST

A3 I focused mostly on Tier 3 words for specific instruction and sprinkled Tier 2 in daily. #HighSchool #novaedchat #literacy

ErinWest_ITRT Mar 8 @ 8:30 PM EST

A2. Mastery is "owning" the word. Can they seamlessly use it in conversation? LOVE Frayer Model for vocab. #gifs4kids #gifvocab #novaedchat

PHES_ITC Mar 8 @ 8:31 PM EST

A3-a: Tier 2 words generally require repetition and practice. Tier 3 often are specific to content that Ss won’t know them... #novaedchat

MrHeronMU Mar 8 @ 8:31 PM EST

...(2/2) vocab instruction is inquiry-based (like most learning). #novaedchat

PHES_ITC Mar 8 @ 8:32 PM EST

A3-b: So it really is a focus on Tier 3, with Tier 2 being reinforced constantly. Tier 1 direct inst. for those who need. #novaedchat

mafarrace Mar 8 @ 8:32 PM EST

A3 Since it's a WL, I can be a little more flexible. Ss are now choosing where to go & the majority of wds to undertake #NoVAedchat

A5: Tie vocab to experiences to make the words real for students. Give them opportunities to use the words in those experiences. #novaedchat

Great idea, @flocabulary! If only the rap writing program knew when you used a specific vocab word &crossed it off for you. #novaedchat

Flocabulary Mar 8 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5. How about writing raps with vocab words included? As students sing, perform and repeat, the words stick! #novaedchat

A6 ...continue searching out ways to help Ss work painlessly w/vocab acquisition in WL #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Mar 8 @ 8:58 PM EST

A6 Based on tonight's convo I will encourage consistent use/practice of vocab in content. One and done doesn't work! #NoVAedchat
