In the Classroom: Frayer Model |
|
|
Sometimes the simplest things have the most impact. Frayer Models have been used for decades in classrooms because they promote critical thinking and can be used across disciplines to support students' deep understanding of vocabulary and content.
Teaching Tip: As with any tool, the more opportunities students have to use them, the more proficient they become at using them to support their understanding. Talk to colleagues about implementing a Frayer Model approach across disciplines or even across or between grade levels! |

|
| Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people age 15-24. As September is Suicide Prevention Month, we are reminded of the importance of not shying away from tough conversations and topics with our students and kids.
