Classnotes Podcast (March 9, 2012) In math and science both, students struggle with academic vocabulary, interpreting charts and graphs in different contexts, and transferring data. One likely issue is a tendency in instruction to isolate classroom activities to the point that students don’t experience the concepts in different contexts. Paula Johnson, M.A., and Veronica Betancourt, M.A., share examples of how teachers can be intentional about modeling and creating opportunities for students to use academic language in practice and transfer knowledge across the curriculum at all grade levels. Paula and Veronica are interviewed by Aurelio M. Montemayor, M.Ed.Show length: Send comments to [email protected]Sign up for Classnotes e-mail alerts.ResourcesDiversifying the STEM Pool – Revisiting the Recruitment of Underrepresented Students in STEM Careersby Paula Martin Johnson, M.A., IDRA Newsletterhttp://www.idra.org/resource-center/diversifying-the-stem-pool/Breaking the Bonds of Boredom – Breaking the Bonds of Boredom in Science and Mathby Veronica Betancourt, M.A., IDRA Newsletterhttp://www.idra.org/resource-center/breaking-the-bonds-of-boredom/Applying Making Math to Children’s Livesby Kathryn Brown, IDRA Newsletterhttp://www.idra.org/resource-center/applying-making-math-to-childrens-lives/Simon Says – It’s Time for a New Game in MathematicsJack Dieckmann, M.A., IDRA Newsletterhttp://www.idra.org/resource-center/simon-says-ae-its-time-for-a-new-game-in-mathematics/Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics – Executive Summaryby Jeremy Kilpatrick, Jane Swafford, Bradford Findell, editors; Mathematics Learning Study Committee, National Research Councilhttps://www.nap.edu/read/9822/chapter/2Releasing the Mathematician and Scientist within StudentsKathryn Brown and Veronica Betancourt, M.A., IDRA Newsletter http://www.idra.org/resource-center/releasing-the-mathematician/Your feedbackWe welcome your comments and questions to the podcast.
