by Kimberly Tyson, Ph.D., learningunlimitedllc.com Update: This post was originally published in February, 2013 If you follow this blog, you know that I believe effective vocabulary instruction is just about the most important instructional activity for teachers to get right. In addition, a broad vocabulary is important for effective speaking, listening, reading and writing.Vocabulary is a foundational component of an effective K-12 comprehensive literacy framework. I’ve posted previously about the importance of effective vocabulary instruction and developed a popular Infographic featuring the “Top 10 Characteristics of Effective Vocabulary Instruction.” In today’s 21st century classrooms, digital tools should coexist alongside more traditional tools.

The Code of Ethics - Early Childhood Australia
A code of ethics is a set of statements about appropriate and expected behaviour of members of a professional group and, as such, reflects its values. The Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics was first developed in 1990 by a national working party, with considerable input from the early childhood field. The 2003-06 Code of Ethics Agenda resulted in a new Code of Ethics, which was endorsed at Early Childhood Australia's National Council meeting in September 2006 (currently valid). The Code of Ethics is owned by the field, rather than imposed upon it. Wise moral decisions will always acknowledge our interdependency; our moral choices are ours alone, but they bind us all to those who will be affected by them.So deciding for yourself what's right or wrong does not mean deciding in isolation' (Mackay, 2004, p. 242). This Code of Ethics provides a framework for reflection about the ethical responsibilities of early childhood professionals. Order online:

Effective teachers think out loud on a regular basis to model this process for students. Thinking out loud is an excellent way to teach how to estimate the number of people in a crowd, revise a paper for a specific audience, predict the outcome of a scientific experiment, use a key to decipher a map, access prior knowledge before reading a new passage, monitor comprehension while reading a difficult textbook, and so on. Getting students into the habit of thinking out loud enriches classroom discourse and gives teachers an important assessment and diagnostic tool. Why Is It Important? By verbalizing their inner speech (silent dialogue) as they think their way through a problem, teachers model how expert thinkers solve problems. How Can You Make It Happen? "Hmmmmmm. Assessment
