The ten requested Fire Tablets will be used to provide my students access an online platform used for direct vocabulary instruction in order to understand and apply STEM-specific tier 2-3 high yield vocabulary words in their definitions, contexts, and nuances. My project stems from an award winning action research I authored where I developed an innovate unique instructional strategy to teach the nuances of STEM-specific tier 2-3 vocabulary words.
Helping students master STEM-specific tier 2-3 vocabulary reinforces their beliefs that a pathway to academic success is attainable and within their locus of control.
Acquisition of these words is empirically connected to reading comprehension. Technology used for vocabulary instruction is outdated or non-functioning. There is no school budget so requests for new or upgrades are immediately denied. This project mitigates the technology divide because a majority of students do not have access to technology resources needed to implement direct vocabulary instruction.
