[LM_NET] School-Wide Vocabulary Strategies/Programs

[Pia Alliende <pia.alliende@REDMOND.K12.OR.US>]

Dear wizards,

I work in a high school where we would like to implement a school-wide
academic vocabulary development program. I am in charge of finding out a
couple of things and thought about this great list. Any help would be
greatly appreciated and if it's any interest I will post a HIT. Thanks
in advance!

Here are my questions:

*       
        Has any schools implemented a school-wide vocabulary development
program/vocabulary strategies at the secondary level
*       
        What research have you based your program/strategies on? Does
anybody know any article about what reseacrh says about vocabulary
development at the secondary level?
*       
        Does anybody know of a list of words that students should know
by grade level (9-12). I have found a couple of lists but their emphasis
is more for either college or elementary school. 
*       
        Does anyone know any assessment tools to evaluate student's
process/academic vocabulary?

Thanks again!!
