ExC-ELL 5 Why is Vocabulary Important? Command of a large vocabulary frequently sets high-achieving students apart from less successful ones (Montgomery, 2000). The average 6-year-old has a vocabulary of approximately 8000 words, and learns more per year (Senechal & Cornell, 1993). Vocabulary in kindergarten and first grade is a significant predictor of reading comprehension in the middle and secondary grades (Cunningham, 2005; Cunningham & Stanovich, 1997) or reading difficulties (Chall & Dale, 1995; Denton et al. 2011).

ExC-ELL 8 Key: Teach Vocabulary Before, During & After Students Read Vocabulary knowledge correlates with reading comprehension. Reading comprehension correlates with procedural and content knowledge. Content knowledge correlates with academic success. Comprehension depends on knowing between 90% and 95% of the words in text. Knowing words means explicit instruction not just exposure. Students need 12 production opportunities to own a word. Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc.

ExC-ELL 9 Why is Content Area Literacy Important for ELLs? Without reading instruction on content area literacy: SURFACE COMPREHENSION: Literal comprehension; students read on their own and answer questions; questions are low-level. With reading instruction integrated into content areas: DEEP COMPREHENSION: Critical comprehension; students learn new vocabulary continuously; associate new readings with prior knowledge; add new knowledge, discuss ideas, interpret facts and information, and apply critical thinking skills to text. Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc.

ExC-ELL 10 Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. CCSS -VOCABULARY PREVALENT IN COMPLEX TEXTS Some students will have smaller tier 1, 2. 3 vocabularies when they enter the classroom. Instruction must address this vocabulary gap early and aggressively. Provide more instruction for students with weaker vocabularies rather than offering them fewer words. Focus on tier 2 instruction to help students access grade level texts.

ExC-ELL 11 ORACY/RICH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT Oracy development occurs when teachers Provide ELs with multiple opportunities to interact with peers about a text or what they are writing (Eads & Wells, 1989; Slavin & Calderón, 2010; Fisher et al. 2012) Carefully plan, model, provide a psychological safety net, and scaffold in a way that makes ELs feel comfortable expressing their “English in progress” (Calderón 2011) Create a context of the classroom that encourages voicing of understandings and misunderstandings, thereby, enriching students’ cognitive and linguistic repertoires (Fisher et al. 2012)

ExC-ELL 12 Semantic Awareness Semantic Awareness is a cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and linguistic stance toward words that the whole school should adopt. It is a mindset that word consciousness involves motivating and showing students how important it is to be learning words for every subject area. Semantic awareness helps students become more skillful and precise in word usage at many levels of complexity and sophistication. Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc.

ExC-ELL 35 For decades, America has anticipated the transformational impact of clean energy technologies. But even as costs fell and technology matured, a clean energy revolution always seemed just out of reach. Critics often said a clean energy future would “always be five years away.” This report focuses on four technology revolutions that are here today. In the last five years they have achieved dramatic reductions in cost and this has been accompanied by a surge in consumer, industrial and commercial deployment. Although these four technologies still represent a small percentage of their total market (e.g. electricity, cars and lighting), they are growing rapidly. Gaining Force 1

ExC-ELL 37 HOW TO TEACH WORDS IN ALL SUBJECT AREAS IN L1 AND L2? Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc.

ExC-ELL 38 Pre-teaching Vocabulary Not passive role – don’t ask them to look up in dictionary or define in the context of a sentence or copy from the board or to listen to the word and meaning only. Active role – ask them to use the word with peers, apply to real-life experiences, connect with meaning used in the text. Use of the word – in reading comprehension and discussion, and in oral and written summaries.

ExC-ELL 39 Pre-teaching Vocabulary Try to keep teacher talk to 1 minute for the 7 steps; students’ practice to 1 minute (2 - 3 minutes per word). 100% student participation!!! DO NOT ask them to write, draw, guess what it means, or spend too much time giving examples that might draw students away from the real meaning. Writing and further depth of word meaning and practice can come after reading. Avoid methods that want you to take up to 20 minutes per word!

Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that well- designed federal and state incentives and investments in research and development have the potential to stimulate significant energy transformations. For instance, from the U.S. federal government’s production incentives for shale gas and support for new drilling technologies laid the foundation for that industry’s dramatic rise. Today, time- limited tax credits for wind, solar and electric vehicles and targeted support for research and development are supporting the expansion of these burgeoning markets. p Model Partner Reading

Partner Reading Practice Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. This analysis explains both the magnitude of and mechanisms behind these nascent revolutions – exploring the intersection between declining costs and surging demand. These industries are providing real world solutions for reducing emissions of harmful carbon pollution and slowing the effects of climate change. Each of the sectors examined has also become a major opportunity for America’s clean energy economy. The trends in each sector show that the historic shift to a cleaner, more domestic and more secure energy future is not some far away goal. We are living it, and it is gaining force. p.23

ExC-ELL 71 Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. The teacher reads and models strategies. Partner A reads the first sentence. Partner B helps. Partner B reads the next sentence. Partner A helps. After each paragraph, partners “put their heads together” and summarize what they read using Tier 2 and Tier 3 words. Partners continue until they finish reading the section assigned.

ExC-ELL 72 Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. Partner A reads a paragraph. Partner B helps. Partner A retells what happened in the paragraph or identifies the main idea/target strategy. Partner B adds details. (The partner who reads the paragraph always retells/identifies the strategy applied.) Partners A and B alternate roles. The teacher leads a short discussion of the page to check comprehension. As a part of the discussion, partners share a word that was difficult for them and the strategy they used to read it.

ExC-ELL 73 Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. Land-Based Wind Power Wind deployments on a steep upward climb Today, deployed wind power in the United States has the equivalent generation capacity of about 60 large nuclear reactors. Wind is the first non-hydro renewable energy source to begin to approach the same scale as conventional energy forms like coal, gas and nuclear. p

ExC-ELL 74 Margarita Calderón & Associates, Inc. This success has been decades in the making – with both government and private-sector R&D dollars propelling its progress. From a technology standpoint three elements have been key to wind power’s success. The first is increasing size: wind turbines have gotten progressively larger in terms of generation capacity over the past 30 years and this has helped to drive down costs. In fact, since 1999 the average amount of electricity generated by a single turbine has increased by about 260%. The second is the scale of production. As with many industries, increases in scale tend to drive down costs. Finally, wind farm operators have become much more sophisticated in understanding and adapting to dynamic wind patterns. This has helped drive up the “capacity factor” – or the percentage of time that turbines are actually producing electricity. The federal Production Tax Credit – which pays an additional 2.3¢ a kilowatt hour for the electricity produced by wind turbines over the first 10 years of operation – has also been critically important to incentivizing deployment of wind energy.

ExC-ELL 75 Step 4: Whole Class Debriefing  Clarify words students did not understand; those they listed on post it notes.  Have students report on gist of paragraph.  Ask text-dependent questions beginning with simple questions requiring attention to specific words, details, arguments text structure or relevant aspects of the passage. After section assigned for partner reading : Does the author support the statement that “there is stuff going on”? Explain.

ExC-ELL 77 The future of wind Wind continues to be one of America’s best choices for low-cost, zero carbon, zero pollution renewable energy. The combined potential of land- based and off-shore wind is about 140 quads – or about 10 times U.S. electricity consumption today. And wind is 100% renewable, so it won’t ever run out. The industry is working to build new power transmission lines from some of the windiest parts of the country, to the most densely populated in order to maintain aggressive growth in the sector. This also includes building “marine” wind farms offshore – where steady ocean breezes harbor vast wind power potential. With continued technology improvements and policy support, the Department of Energy estimates that as much as 20% of projected U.S. electricity demand could be met by wind power by
