Academic Vocabulary
The Tennessee
Academic Vocabulary Manual
is
designed to help school districts or individual schools systematically
enhance the academic vocabulary of their students to better prepare
them to learn new content in mathematics, science, language arts
and social studies.
If a district or school were to work to ensure that all students were exposed to specific academic terms and phrases across the grade levels, this would form a strong common foundation for all students.
To this end, the manual lists important academic terms and phrases in mathematics, science, language arts and social studies.
