This series of video segments explains the importance of academic vocabulary in the common core curriculum. The video segments included highlight the three tiers of vocabulary [1:35], the role of vocabulary in the common core curriculum standards [2:06], and the three stages of vocabulary instruction [4:49]
These video segments examine the integration of domain-specific vocabulary in technical education course, a construction core class. The teacher demonstrates how to introduce the new vocabulary in the first segment via a complex course text [7:22], and the second segment shows the teacher's use of graphic organizers to enhance the students' understanding the text's vocabulary. L.9-10.6 Vocabulary, L.11-12. 6 Vocabulary CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.L.6, L.11-12. 6 Vocabulary
This video [5:06] provides research related to the Common Core approach to vocabulary, footage of classroom teachers engaging students in vocabulary instruction, and sample vocabulary assessments.
This video [14:33] shows a demonstration of academic vocabulary instruction through the context of a complex work, a poem. The teacher demonstrates how to access the literal meaning of new vocabulary and then infer the deeper meaning. Includes downloadable assessment handouts.

Using students' step length to understand the relationship between distance, speed and acceleration. Includes graphing of data and interpretation of graphs.
Video tutorial uses information about take-off velocity and runway length to determine acceleration. [14:15]
Khan Academy learning modules include a Community space where users can ask questions and seek help from community members. Educators should consult with their Technology administrators to determine the use of Khan Academy learning modules in their classroom. Please review materials from external sites before sharing with students.
Students make a wheel and axle out of cardboard and a wooden dowel. It is rooled along a ramp made of parallel meter sticks, and the acceleration can be made small enough to make accurate measurements and calculations.
Video tutorial explains how to read an acceleration vs. time graph and shows how the area under the curve gives the change in velocity, while providing a few examples. [14:37]

Students work as physicists to understand centripetal acceleration concepts. They also learn about a good robot design and the accelerometer sensor. They also learn about the relationship between centripetal acceleration and centripetal force governed by the radius between the motor and accelerometer and the amount of mass at the end of the robot's arm. Students graph and analyze data collected from an accelerometer, and learn to design robots with proper weight distribution across the robot for their robotic arms. Upon using a data logging program, they view their own data collected during the activity. By activity end , students understand how a change in radius or mass can affect the data obtained from the accelerometer through the plots generated from the data logging program. More specifically, students learn about the accuracy and precision of the accelerometer measurements from numerous trials.
From a Smithsonian exhibition entitled "From Smithson to Smithsonian," this document relates John Quincy Adams' role in getting the US government to accept and support the gift that became the Smithsonian Institution. A transcript of Adams' report to Congress is included.

Presentation about Ohio's accessibility system, Accessibility Manual from the Ohio Department of Education, accessibility tools, and supports and recommendations for state testing.
In this lesson students use a structured format (an adaptation of Think-Pair-Share) to discuss and deconstruct complex text. The new core standards emphasize the importance of developing students' speaking and listening skills as well as helping them access complex text through reading, re-reading, re-thinking, and re-examining.The purpose of this lesson is to get the students to focus and stay on topic while they talk. As a result, students are required to think more extensively about a topic by repeatedly reading and discussing with others.
