Presenting @ Illinois Science Teachers Association Conference

Westmont Junior High School Science Teachers Present @ Illinois Science Teachers Association Conference

What makes learning so difficult?  What types of strategies would help your students be successful?  Vocabulary instruction is a great place to start!  Because science has its own language, presenters Mrs. Riley, 6^th grade, & Mrs. Goodell, 7^th grade, will share vocabulary strategies they have implemented in their classroom.  At the November 2^nd state conference for the Illinois Science Teachers Association held in Springfield, session participants will understand the importance of building vocabulary skills, moving from good to better to best practice.  Mrs. Riley & Mrs. Goodell will engage participants in creating an interactive word wall example aligned to Common Core State Standards which they can then take into their classroom and implement with their students.

Good Luck to Mrs. Goodell & Mrs. Riley!!
