  2. Essential Questions • What are the CODE vocabulary principles? • What are Marzano’s six steps to effective vocabulary instruction? • How do the CODE and Marzano steps help struggling students add to their word knowledge? • How can I implement both the CODE principles and Marzano process into daily intervention instruction?

  3. Learning Targets • I can explain the CODE Vocabulary Principles and Marzano’s Six-step Vocabulary Instruction. • I can implement CODE and Marzano into daily classroom planning and instruction.

  4. “The limits of my language are the limits of my mind.
