This manual will enable you to design and implement a comprehensive approach to teaching academic vocabulary as a district, a school, or an individual classroom teacher. The rationale for and research behind this approach are described in depth in Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement: Research on What Works in Schools (Marzano, 2004). We strongly encourage you to read it. pdboyer Thu, 06 Aug 2009 02:08:24 GMT
