Ideas I have:

Vocabulary-based PD in small, content-area groups that demonstrate different vocabulary techniques

*short mini-workshops that demonstrate 1-2 vocabulary strategies followed up with observations of strategies or small-group evaluations of strategies

*content-area lesson plan analysis for vocabulary techniques

*whole group workshop on technology that helps with vocabulary development with small, content area or grade-level break-outs to focus on/try out technology

Content-area writing techniques PD in small, content-area groups

*content-area workshops focusing on writing strategies for the content-area

*one-on-one lesson planning for writing strategies

*article/lesson study on different writing strategies for content areas

Vocabulary and/or writing-based cross-curricular projects PD in small, grade-level groups

*whole group explanation of projects that could be done w/ small-group break-outs to plan with grade-level teams

*small-group lesson studies for project development
