The strategy explains why explicit instruction matters for student access to future professions, improving comprehension and narrowing gaps between academic and non-academic backgrounds.

Specific content is the terminology used in specific subjects related to the discipline it falls into (eg. Math-equation, sum, angle, measurement, etc.)\u003Cbr>2. General academic vocabulary is the cement that builds the bricks of specific content.\u003Cbr>Academic vocabulary is spread across all of the subjects as basic terms used to understand the content on a deeper level.\u003Cbr>Examples: analyze, connect, evidence, organize, in addition, summary, achieve, require, etc. | ➔ Academic language is crucial to be able to access professions, and it will set students up for success in their future careers\u003Cbr>➔ When students know the meaning behind basic terms they are able to better understand information that they are presented with\u003Cbr>➔ Focusing on academic vocabulary works on closing the gap between those who are from academic environments and non-academic environments.\u003Cbr>➔ Students who have direct vocabulary instructions on words related to content have a high level of comprehension of content |\n| --- | --- |\n| HOW TO USE IT: | RESOURCES & LINKS |\n| ➔ Be explicit. Use the correct term, not just the kid friendly version.\u003Cbr>➔ Take the time.

For general academic vocabulary, take the time to define, practice and review those skills all year!\u003Cbr>➔ Teacher instruction, student investigation, group work, conversation as a class and between students are all useful for vocabulary learning.\u003Cbr>➔ Visual, verbal, kinesthetic activities complement print based vocabulary learning.\u003Cbr>See it in action:\u003Cbr>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9DPKgBrJQE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9DPKgBrJQE)\u003Cbr>Teacher Neil Hicken uses Marzano ’s Six Step Process to teach tier two vocabulary to his middle school students as part of his weekly teaching practice. | Learning Commons\u003Cbr>●  Academic Vocabulary Resources & Word lists (by grade) IMC\u003Cbr>● Building Academic Vocabulary: Teachers Manual by R.
