VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 2

Background

This instructional design project will provide professional development in vocabulary

development for third, fourth, and fifth grade teachers to support language development required

by the California Common Core State Standards. As the instructional coach, with an English

Language Development focus at Lakewood TechEQ Elementary School I will be providing the

training. The target audience is primarily veteran teachers, the exception being two first year

teachers. Five out of the eight teachers speak a second language, and understand the difficulty

acquiring language. The stakeholders are the Lakewood teachers, their students, their parents,

and the Sunnyvale Unified School District. Currently I teach two sessions of English Language

Development to the students in greatest need of this support. After teaching at this site for

fifteen years, my time now as a coach has uncovered the high number of students that were

promoted to middle school lacking a strong vocabulary base and limited English proficiency.

The site is promoting students that after six years of instruction are still not designated at fully

English proficient.

Goals, Constraints, and Resources

The objective of the instructional design is to create a module to provide an engaging and

motivating professional development for teachers to ensure students are receiving high quality

vocabulary lessons. (California Common Core State Standards, 2013, Language,p. 38). The

secondary learners will be the Lakewood TechEQ upper-grade students. The ethical

considerations are ensuring the course design meets the needs of the teachers and they are able to

transfer their knowledge when they design their own lessons. The major perceived constraint is

motivating teachers to complete the module on their own time. The general timeline for this

project will be at least three months in order to properly develop the module. Implementation
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 3

will take place between February and March 2018. The two-part module will be broken up in to

two thirty minute sessions. The final self evaluation will be conducted over the first week of

April. Asynchronus e-learning will be the primary delivery model allowing teachers to complete

it at times that best fit their schedules. Coaching will be available as well for those interested in

the support. This support will be provided by the site based instructional coach that is assigned

to working with the upper-grade staff. Additionally, there is access to subject matter expert that

spends one day each month on campus. This expert is the coordinator of multilingual services

from the county office of education that has been contracted to support ELD instruction in the

district. This module will be comprised of short reading passages, an interactive videos with

embedded questions to process the material. Google Forms and Sheets will be used as the tool

for assessment of learning. A self-evaluation will be completed at the end of this module to

reflect on the impact it has made in the classroom.

Analysis

Needs Assessment

Elementary school teachers at Lakewood Tech EQ serve approximately 465 students a

year, 40 % of these students are second language learners. This group is our second largest

cohort, the biggest being socio-economically disadvantaged at 64%. Many of our students fall

into both groups, creating a significant number of children that need urgent support. My

experience spans fifteen years at my site, ten as a classroom teacher and five years as an

instructional coach. Now with a more global view, a sense of urgency has increased. When

working on coaching cycles with our upper-grade staff their dedication to continuous

professional development is evident, even with each new “focus” that is added to their plate.
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 4

Last year the question was asked, “When will our plates be too full to add any more?”

Identifying high leverage signature practices that could be implemented across content areas has

potential to stop adding new requirements, and simply improve on current implementation.

Vocabulary and reading are a need in each content area, to ensure this was a worthy

focus, teachers were interviewed using a set of nine interview questions (appendix 1) and

allowed their responses to be recorded. I conducted the interviews of five upper grade teachers,

with varying years of teaching experience, ages, gender, and areas of strength. One additional

interview of our principal was conducted to see how closely her responses matched those of our

teaching staff. The one–on-one interviews took place over a 3 day span in their classrooms. The

ten questions started very open ended, then moved to a more direct approach. One question that

used the Likert scale, it asked them to share their level of understanding on several vocabulary

strategies that are successfully implemented at other sites.

Stahls’ work highlighted what teachers have known for years, that there is a strong

connection between high levels of vocabulary and deep reading comprehension (F & P 2009).

The teachers interviewed all had a positive feeling about their language arts instruction. They

were all able to correctly identify their unique strengths and for the most part, pin point their

areas of need. Most of them mentioned the need for improved vocabulary development. The

teachers recognized the need for improvement, and many shared a lack of understanding of how

to successfully build student vocabulary banks.

When looking at their areas of strength, it was interesting and encouraging that three out

of five teachers specifically identified two components that were new last year with support

embedded while it was rolled it out. Our teachers are very motivated by student growth and look

at data frequently in data teams, and in the professional learning communities every six weeks.
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 5

Their positive experiences with training last year could be built upon this year to further their

professional development and grow student success.

My recommendation to fill the gap we are having in vocabulary structures is training. I

recommend this for many reasons. First of all, the five upper grade teachers that were

interviewed for the needs assessment had a very limited knowledge of the topic. They did have

some scattered prior knowledge and are ineffectively using structures right now. This

acknowledges they value the instructional minutes that are dedicated to it as part of their

program. Additionally, the staff regularly participates in trainings and this has been a very

successful model. There is a real community of learners that are eager to improve their skills,

and are highly motivated by student growth. The school wide goal is to reclassify all of our

English Language Learners by they time they complete fifth grade and move on to the middle

school.

Equally important, the resources required are readily available. We have curriculum and

supplies that will be used in the training. The instructional coach position currently is funded to

offer training and support classroom instruction. These sessions will greatly impact students in

their performance on our district benchmark assessments, CELDT or ELPAC test for English

Language Learners, and the CAASP test at the end of the year. (short term impact) On a larger

scale, the students would have the necessary skills to keep on their path towards higher education

and improved life skills.

The gap is being caused by three major factors. The largest gap is due to the student

population being comprised of 40% second language learners. While these students are

incredibly hard working, with a hunger for learning, they need to have structures in place to feed

their needs. An additional factor is that approximately 50 % of the students come from homes in
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 6

which the highest level of parent education is high school. The parents often don’t have the

knowledge of how to help their kids at home or are unaware of the importance of their support.

Finally, with a large population of students that fall into the low socio economic status category,

many parents work two jobs leaving little, to no time to work with their kids at home or involve

their children in meaningful after school activities. While teachers cannot control any of these

underlying issues, they can make an impact by using the precious instructional minutes

intentionally and strategically by infusing vocabulary strategies throughout the day. The limited

knowledge and experience the teachers currently have with best practices in this area, the needs

of the students are going unmet.

To summarize, data and staff interviews both indicate that not only is vocabulary

instruction an immediate need, it is also something that teachers are motivated to work on. Due

to the high costs of using substitute teachers to allow for teachers to be released for training, the

use of a virtual classroom is an excellent alternative. Giving flexibility, having videos at their

fingertips, and focusing on one structure at a time are all additional advantages of using the

virtual classroom over a release day for face-to-face training. This short module will be

appropriately portioned and intentionally sequenced to increase the likelihood of it going into the

learners’ long-term memory (Stolovitch & Keeps, 2011). As teachers begin to go through the

training module, informal and formal observations will be completed to see the progress in

classrooms. An option for a formal coaching cycle alongside the module will be available for

those that request it. The current third and fourth grade students will have their data tracked for

the next twelve months to monitor student growth and compare it with previous years.
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 7

Learner Analysis

The learners will be the eight upper-grade teachers at Lakewood TECH EQ. This group

of teachers are all fully credentialed, two have Bilingual CLAD certification, and they all have

masters degrees in a variety of topics. Regular participation in voluntary professional

development during the school year and over the summer is common in this group. One teacher

is currently pursuing her National Board Certification, with the goal of completion this spring.

Six out of the eight also serve on various leadership committees in our district, bringing a wealth

of expertise to this project. The learners have a strong collaboration within grade level teams as

well as in an upper-grade cohort. Similar in age and stage of life, most are married with children,

they have family obligations out side of the school day. There is common prep time at each

grade level that facilitates teamwork and high levels of efficiency. They are highly motivated,

and fueled by student success through observation and data points.

The site is in year three of a professional development contract with the county office of

education focused on English Language Development (ELD) instruction. Because of the focus

on ELD, looking at vocabulary instruction will go hand in hand with the- long professional

development plan. It should in many ways support the work they are already dedicated to. They

are all Google Certified Educators and use Google Classroom with their students. The high level

of technology experience they posses make them especially capable of engaging in this

asynchronous learning module.

Context Analysis

This module can be completed in the environment that each learner prefers. This will

allow flexibility for the learner to determine the time and place they feel they can be the most
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 8

productive. For those with small children at home, accomplishing the training after hours at

school may be the best decision, where others may find they have more quiet space at home. The

teachers all have school provided MacBook’s and Ipads to use in order to complete this training.

There are many advantages of this learning program. First, the self-paced design allows teaches

to move at a speed that fits their classroom need and teaching style. Second is the use of vitural

classroom, all of the teachers completed Google Certification using online learning, so they are

familiar with how this project will work. Next is the sequence of assignments, teachers

completed a learning style survey in order to best design instruction that is suited to their

preferences. The order in which the components are listed meet the information they provided on

their survey to match as close as possible for the majority of the group. Each assignment is

intended to build on each other, to deepen knowledge and application as they work through the

series. Next is the timing, applying this training in March was intentional. It is the longest

month, with no staff development days or holidays that take away from instruction. The last

advantage of this project is the instructional coach is assigned to the site full time and will be

available to support teachers as needed.

There are a few constraints that have been addressed in the design of this training. The

school day is already impacted with required minutes of instruction in many content areas. The

strategies being introduced in training should be applied directly to what is already being taught,

so it will not require additional time to include. There will however, be an increased need for

planning to ensure that the vocabulary word selection can be applied across content areas. This

planning would be most effective done as a grade level team. To support facilitating this group

planning time teachers will be encouraged to designate thirty minutes each week to meet and

determine the words that will be selected. The teachers participating in this module are all
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 9

located in the upper grade wing of the elementary school. This level of proximity supports

teacher collaboration during the school day and for any after school time they dedicate to this

work.

Content Analysis

The content developed for this training is to improve vocabulary strategy instruction in

upper-grade classrooms at Lakewood Tech EQ. Data from state Smarter Balanced Assessment

Consortiom and STAR Literacy benchmark assessment both show the need for this instruction.

After conducting the needs assessment, teachers and the site administrator all agreed there was a

need for professional development for the teachers and they are eager to learn new ways to

support. This training will introduce one research-based method that has shown strong success

rates when implemented in schools with similar student demographics. Teachers will be

responsible for understanding how to use the method effectively. Furthermore, teachers must

develop a foundational understanding of tier two and tier three vocabulary words. Having a

mastery level of understanding the differences between the two is critical when it is time for

them to begin selecting words for their instruction. The second component of the training will be

teachers applying what they learned in the first session to their own classroom needs. They will

focus on their own materials and content to complete implementation of the new strategies.

Module 1 (Understanding Content):

 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.4

Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words

and phrases based on grade 4 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 10

range of strategies. Teachers will watch a short video of the Frayer model

being used in a classroom, then do a short reading and complete a graphic

organizer to demonstrate understanding. From memory, teachers should be

able to label the graphic organizer with correct headings and complete the

organizer with a provided word and score 90% or higher to show mastery of

the content.

 Teachers will learn the three tiers of academic vocabulary words. There will

be an explicit focus on tier two and tier three words. For this module, teachers

will read, watch, and complete a sorting activity to practice the skill. They will

take a short quiz to show mastery of this concept. Our ELD standards tell us

that to show proficiency in metalinguistic awareness students should know

“how to intentionally and purposefully use both everyday vocabulary and a

range of general academic and domain specific vocabulary in English related

to familiar and new topics”

Module 2 (Instructional Planning)

 Teachers will compile a list that contains one tier-two word in each subject (ELA,

Math, Social Studies) and five tier-three words that can be infused throughout the

day for the upcoming week. This should be a total of eight words that instruction

will be based on.

 Teachers will add their selections in a Google Sheet for others to see and make

comments on.

 Teachers will prepare their Frayer Model graphic organizers either through

Google Classroom or via paper copies.


VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 11

When the modules have been completed the expectation will be that teachers utilize their new

knowledge about academic vocabulary and implement the Frayer Model in their classrooms on a

consistent basis. Grade level collaboration would increase the effectiveness of this process as

teachers switch kids for certain activities. Having grade level determined words would ensure

that students are being held accountable for their meaning and inclusion in their language

production.

Design

Learning Objectives

Teachers will work to meet two terminal objectives. These objectives are both examples

of the cognitive domain and the affective domain. The first terminal objective pulls primarily

from the cognitive domain, requiring comprehension, synthesis, application, and knowledge.

Teachers will comprehend new information through the reading and the videos, synthesizing

both parts of the learning, then relying on their new knowledge to apply it to their curriculum and

classroom setting. The second terminal objective relies more on the affective domain, using

organization, receiving, and responding. Teachers will organize their lessons and curriculum in a

manner that supports the new knowledge acquired in module one as they go through the process

of academic word selection. They will be receiving information from grade level partners that

are working to collaborate as a team, then responding to each other through Google Sheets to

provide feedback in order to refine original plans. There will additionally be two enabling

objectives to support the first terminal objective and three enabling objectives to support the

second terminal objective.


VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 12

Module One Objectives:

 Terminal Objective: From memory teachers will be able to accurately describe the

difference between tier two and tier three words and can apply the words to the Frayer

Model graphic organizer.

o Enabling Objective: Teachers will be able to sort a provided list of words into two

categories, tier two and tier three with 100% accuracy.

o Enabling Objective: Teachers will be able to apply one of the provided words to

the Frayer Model graphic organizer and complete all four sections with 100%

accuracy.

Module Two Objectives:

 Terminal Objective: Teachers will be able to review district provided math curriculum

and independently select one tier two and 5 tier three words for instruction in their

classrooms using the Frayer Model.

o Enabling Objective: Using district provided resources, teachers will be able to

identify one tier-two words, one from an upcoming lesson in the math program.

o Enabling Objective: Using district provided resources, teachers will be able to

identify 5 tier three words that they can apply to multiple subjects throughout the

day.

o Enabling Objective: Independently teachers will apply the selected words to the

instruction that takes place in their classrooms 100% of the school days in March.
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 13

Test Instruments

The first module is designed to provide new learning for the teachers completing the

course that they will apply in module two. There are two distinct lessons in module one, each

lesson will be assessed through embedded tests that the participants will complete at the

conclusion of that lesson allowing teachers to focus on one part at a time. The quizzes will be

created and administered in Google Forms, which the teachers are all comfortable using. These

quizzes will include questions that require short answer, check boxes, and multiple choice.

Including short answer opportunities will allow for personalized responses on critical portions,

and the checklist and multiple choice options will be used for examples and non-examples of the

content of the lesson. Feedback will be provided within 24 hours of completing the quiz to

ensure timely response.

The second module will be assessed using Google Sheets. Examining the words the

teachers have selected for their tier two and three words will demonstrate their level of

understanding. If all words selected match the criteria, then they have shown mastery level

understanding.

Media and Delivery System Decisions

This professional development course will be conducted through an asynchronous online

class using Google classroom. This asynchronous option allows for full time professionals to

access course materials at the most conducive time to meet their needs and work through the

modules at their own pace. Each participant is a Google Certified Educator and is able to use

these systems with ease. The content will all be created through the Google Suite. Teachers all

have Google accounts through our district that can be easily accessed for this purpose. The

videos will be shared through YouTube, Readings will be shared through Gmail and in Google
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 14

Slides, collaborative sharing will take place through Google Sheets, and quizzes will be

administered through Google Forms.

Instructional Strategies and Activities

The instructional strategies used and activities participants will go through are detailed

below in the agenda. The theory that was used as a basis this module is the constructivist

learning theory. As teachers move through the videos and readings in module one they are

certain to think about what they already know about vocabulary instruction, whether it be their

current practices or theories they learned about it their teacher education program. In module

two, they will engage in more active participation and allow them to build on their prior

knowledge while utilizing a new strategy.

Development & Implementation

List of Major Deliverables

Module One

1. Welcome Video that explains the course, motivates participants, outlines expected

student gains. Upload to YouTube,

2. Create course syllabus share in Classroom

3. Record Frayer Method model lesson, edit and add captions, post to YouTube,

4. Google Slide deck detailing critical components of Frayer Model best practices (one slide

per component, total of 8 slides)

5. Record academic vocabulary video, add to playlist on YouTube

6. Word study reading assignment on Google Docs


VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 16

7. Google Forms Quizzes

8. Rubric to grade the short answer questions on the quiz

Module Two

1. Introduction video to module two

2. Google Sheet template to record selected academic terms

3. Fisher and Frey guiding questions outline document

4. Tier three word bank document

All deliverables will be added to the Google Classroom to allow students to have easy access

to their coursework. Moving from design to development will require a few basic

considerations. First of all, keeping the videos to the time allotted in the agenda to ensure that

each module is completed within the projected timeframe. Next, ensuring the videos being

created meet the objectives of the course and provide ample support for learners, without

providing unneeded details. Finally, formulating assessment questions that measure if the

learners met the goals this training was created for.

Development Plan

In order to meet deadlines and keep costs at a minimum, the instructional coach who is

already paid will create the lessons and videos will be created on the school campus. The

Welcome video and introduction to module two can be recorded after school, using our

Padcaster set up ensure a professional production. The model lessons can be self recorded during

a class session with current students as the learners in the classroom. The sessions can be

recorded during the school day, followed by editing outside of the school day. These video

components should take approximately 5 hours, which includes time for script writing, lesson
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 17

planning, and ample editing time. The creation of the slide deck and documents needed

(syllabus, word study assignment, Google sheet template) are estimated to take approximately 3

hours. The quiz and rubric will be the final component and are estimated to take no more than 2

hours to develop, keeping the development time frame at roughly 11 hours total. One week will

be allotted to allow a district coach to go through the training and provide feedback before

opening the training to staff. The challenges to consider are using a live classroom to capture the

model videos. Due to the unpredictable nature of working with students, there may need to be

recordings done more than once. When editing video there can also be production complications

that require extra time if they arise. These can consist of, but are not limited to, volume

irregularities, color adjustment, and additional cuts needed. If these issues arise students may

need to participate in a lesson for a second time and the possibility of more time would be

dedicated to production outside of school hours.

Implementation Plan
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 18

Due to the nature of this asynchronous online class, there is no instructor required to

present information in a formal setting. There is an administrator needed to provide feedback

from the quiz at the end of module one, that has a clear understanding of the information

presented virtually in this module of the course. In the second module, an administrator needs to

monitor input on the Google Sheet, then score the entry of each teacher using the rubric that is

provided. Because they are assessing information that the classroom teacher has determined

using their own curriculum, for the second module the administrator should possess a strong

understanding of the two tiers of academic vocabulary. They also should have experience with

upper-grade students and standards to ensure the words being selected are appropriate for the

class they will be implemented in. The learners in this course need to have competent skills

using Google Classroom and the Google Suite of products. They will be interacting with a

mixture of video, reading, a quiz, and then entering data on a spreadsheet.

Evaluation

Formative Evaluation

Formative evaluation will be provided in at the end of module one after learners complete

the quiz. They will receive a written feedback responding to their short answers which will

either confirm they are on the right track or give corrective feedback, with the opportunity to

retake the quiz to improve their score. Once they have determined they are satisfied with their

quiz score that will become their final grade for module one, or summative evaluation. For

module two learners will receive feedback on their Google Sheets entry from a peer. After they

review the suggestions of their coworker, they have the opportunity to adjust their entry.

Summative Evaluation
VOCABULARY INSTRUCTION IN UPPER GRADES 19

Summative data will be collected at the end of each module. The quiz will provide data

to indicate if the learners were able to master the information they learned through video and

reading materials. The Google Sheet will serve as the summative component of the second

module. Examining both data points will provide the designer with information that details what

pieces may need to be adjusted moving forward to better support teachers if this training is

offered again. The email detailing next steps will support instructional coaching moving

forward and preparing additional models based on other vocabulary strategies and deepening the

practices at the site.
