ALWAYS LEARNING5

What Is Sheltered Instruction?

“Sheltered instruction is an approach for teaching content to

English learners (ELs) in strategic ways that make the subject

matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the students’

English language development.”

ALWAYS LEARNING6

What is the Basic Premise of SIOP®?

What characterizes a sheltered SIOP® classroom is the systematic, consistent, and concurrent focus on teaching both:

academic content AND academic language

to English learners and to all students.

ALWAYS LEARNING7

What Does It Mean that SIOP® is a Model?

Lesson Planning AND Delivery System

for teachers to promote academic language development along with comprehensible content

ALWAYS LEARNING8

What Does It Mean that SIOP® is a Protocol?

SIOP® is an observation tool

It provides school administrators, teachers, teacher candidates, and field experience supervisors with a tool for observing and quantifying a teacher's implementation of quality sheltered

instruction.

ALWAYS LEARNING9

Why Is SIOP® Different from Other Models?

It is the

ONLY EMPIRICALLY VALIDATED

model of sheltered instruction

ALWAYS LEARNING10

SIOP® Research Reference

• The SIOP Model was developed during a seven-year research project (1996-2003) for the Center for Research on Education, Diversity & Excellence, funded by the Institute for Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education.

• A study was conducted to establish the validity and reliability of the model.

• Researchers compared ELs in classes whose teachers had been trained in implementing the model to those who had not been. The results showed that those students whose teachers did implement the model had higher narrative and expository writing scores.

SIOP® Results Snapshot: Brockton High SchoolBetween 2003 and 2009, Brockton High School increased the percentage of English language learners (ELLs) passing the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System by 255% for language arts and 158% for mathematics.

Brockton school leaders cite the adoption and training of all teachers in the SIOP® Model as one of the key factors in its success.

“Why does SIOP work for Brockton? It gives ALL of our teachers, our ESL teachers and

our general education teachers, a structured and reliable format that can be implemented in their classrooms, and it increases the achievement of all of our

students, particularly our ELLs.”

-- Sue Szachowicz, Principal

Brockton High School
