Tiered Vocabulary
Vocabulary for ELL Students and General Education students alike, is a 3 tier process. Tier 1 vocabulary is what we consider the tip of the iceberg, this does not usually need explicit teaching. As we move under the surface of our "iceberg" you will see that Tier 2 & 3 vocabulary needs to be explicitly taught to all students to help them reach a fuller understanding of the content.
