The Thoughtful Classroom Portfolio Series is ideal for administrators looking for cost-effective professional development tools; school, grade, and department teams and self-directed learning clubs interested in raising student achievement; and individual teachers seeking to expand their teaching repertoires, the Thoughtful Classroom Portfolio Series will help you get results quickly—without breaking your budget.

The popular title Word Works: Cracking Vocabulary's CODE will lead you through planning and teaching classroom units that help students develop the skills essential in learning new academic vocabulary. With the Word Works approach to thoughtful vocabulary learning, you will be showing your students how to develop a preliminary understanding of new words and academic terms, how to revise that understanding as they read and learn, and how to practice new terms so that they understand what they mean and how they are used.

The Word Works: Cracking Vocabulary's CODE Portfolio consists of:

1. A six-panel folder 
    Created in a handy file-folder format, this folder functions
    as a quick reference tool for lesson planning and
    implementation, as well as providing a convenient
    location to store student work samples for later evaluation. 

2. A Resource Guide 
    Simple yet comprehensive, the Resource Guide describes
    the research behind the strategy and clarifies the purpose
    and goals for using the strategy in the classroom. Also includes
    worksheets, templates, and sample lessons. Everything your
    team needs to master the strategy in four self-directed sessions.

3. A classroom poster
    A matching poster for use in the classroom to help students master
    and make independent use of new strategies and techniques.
