Welcome to GETCA 2025! We are excited to see you soon...
Friday February 28, 2025 11:40am - 12:40pm MST
Join us for an engaging session designed to equip educators with effective strategies for enhancing students' academic language proficiency through the use of visuals. This session will focus on the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM), a research-based approach that integrates visual literacy and vocabulary development. Participants will explore how PWIM can transform classroom practice by using images to deepen student thinking, foster discussion, and enhance understanding of complex vocabulary. We’ll explore the theory behind PWIM, analyze its key components, and discuss its application across various subject areas.
