This book introduces and explains the SIOP ® (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) Model, a comprehensive, coherent, research-validated model of sheltered instruction, now implemented in districts throughout all 50 states and in dozens of countries. The SIOP Model improves teaching effectiveness and results in academic gains for students.

 

The SIOP® Model, developed by the authors over 15 years ago, offers teachers a comprehensive, well-articulated model of instruction for planning and implementing lessons that helps educators a) provide English learners and other students with access to grade-level content standards, b) develop the students’ academic English skills, and c) prepare students to be college and career ready. The only research-validated model of instruction currently available for teaching English learners, the SIOP® Model is applicable across content areas and is now being implemented at all levels of education from pre—K to community colleges and universities.

 

 

"We started SIOP ® in 2003 and our state math proficiency went from 39% for our ELL sub group to 75%. In reading it went from 29% to 72%, so we attribute a lot of that to our SIOP ® model."

-Patricia Smiley, Director of Instruction, Emporia, Kansas

  

"SIOP ® helps teachers plan and deliver quality instruction for all students. Bottom line, there is no other professional development that provides teachers with a complete model for instruction."

-Dr. Katharine Garcia, Alief ISD, Houston, TX

 

"With SIOP ®, teachers learn to write language objectives to match content regardless of the curriculum area."

- Dr. Karen Broadnax, Director ESL/Multilingual Services
