Expanding Expression®

The Expanding Expression® Tool (EET) is a multi-sensory approach used to facilitate more detailed descriptions and definitions. The tool motivates students to clearly define vocabulary, write informational reports, use vibrant details and write from prior knowledge. As a mnemonic device, it provides visual and tactile information for improved language organization. As a national speaker, Sara Smith, creator or the EET, provides insight into learning and demonstrates strategies to use with all children. You can visit the Expanding Expression® website to learn more about how you can arrange for Sara to speak at your event. During the training, participants will be taught how to follow a hierarchical approach taking students’ expression from words to paragraphs to reports. The research basis, hands-on activities, samples from students and strategies/ideas for students are all part of this presentation.
