Math Facilitator  Karen Lopez **Meeting Name: Academic Vocabulary **

Summary: Aurora East School District 131 has adopted a District-wide Academic Vocabulary Initiative. Knowledge of key academic terms in all content areas is critical for students’ success in school. Without it, students will struggle learning and understanding the words they hear and read. Providing consistent words across grade levels and content areas within the District makes it easier for students to learn and understand new content as their education continues.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #00b050; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"> Hello, We are beginning to implement the first phase of the Academic Vocabulary Initiative. We will have trainings during the day on 10/13, 10/14, 10/17, 10/19, and 10/20. The curriculum department has scheduled 3 subs for each of the schools. The training will be 2.5 hours. The teachers will receive the Academic Vocabulary Handbook, the word cards in both English and Spanish, CPDU's and the opportunity to look at how this would look as a lesson. For each day, there will be a morning training from 8:00-10:30 and then an afternoon training from 12:30-3:00. Please send me 3 teachers names for each morning and afternoon session for each respective school. I would recommend maybe 1 teacher from each grade level. In addition, we are offering many trainings outside of the school day (Please see attached flyer!). I look forward to working with you and your staff!
