Exploring the SIOP Model
The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) was created to provide classroom teachers a clear and comprehensive model for delivering sheltered content instruction to English Learners. During these sessions, teachers will become familiar with the SIOP model in a variety of ways. Participants will use Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2013) to explore each of the 8 components of SIOP: Lesson Preparation, Building Background, Comprehensible Input, Strategies, Interaction, Practice & Application, Lesson Delivery, Review & Assessment. Those attending will also have opportunities to reflect on their current practice, collaborate with their peers, and implement their understanding of SIOP into lesson planning.
