Welcome!
Today we are going to continue looking at the

SIOP
The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol
is a teaching framework based on
decades of research of best practices
It is not an evaluation instrument
Implementation of SIOP can and will vary
depending on the needs of each school
The SIOP Model
This
month we will preview the
SIOP Components:
Comprehensible
Input &
Strategies
Comprehensible Input
In order for our students to understand our
instruction, it is imperative to implement
techniques to improve comprehensibility
Comprehensible Input
The SIOP component of Comprehensible Input
includes these features:
Speech
appropriate for student proficiency levels (i.e.
slower rate, clear enunciation, etc.)
Clear explanation of academic tasks
A variety of techniques to make content concepts
clear (i.e. modeling, visuals, hands-on activities,
demonstrations, gestures, body language, etc.)
Comprehensible Input
Acquiring a new language and becoming
proficient with vocabulary takes time
Comprehensible input is achieved when
teachers pay attention to the unique
linguistic levels/needs of learners and
consistently incorporate these techniques
into their daily teaching routines
Comprehensible Input
Effective SIOP teachers are aware of the
varied language proficiency levels of their
students
Classroom instruction is then varied and
adjusted to meet the various language
levels
Comprehensible Input
SIOP teachers use a variety of
techniques, including modeling, gestures,
hands-on activities, and demonstrations,
so that students understand and learn the
content material
The goal: increased student success!
Creating SIOP Lessons
To further support student understanding try
some of these comprehensible input
techniques….
Use gestures, body language, pictures and
objects to accompany speech
Provide a model of a process, task or
assignment
Preview material with students
Use multimedia and other technologies in
lessons
Provide consistent and repeated exposures to
words, concepts and skills
Be succinct – use concrete, realistic models
Strategies
Techniques and methods for learning and
retaining information are systematically
taught, reviewed, and assessed in
effective SIOP classrooms
Strategies
The SIOP Component of Strategies includes
these features:
Ample
opportunities provided for students to use
learning strategies
Scaffolding techniques consistently used, assisting
and supporting student understanding (e.g., thinkalouds)
A variety of questions or tasks that promote higherorder thinking skills (e.g., literal, analytical, and
interpretive questions)
Strategies
A primary goal of instruction is to assist
all students in becoming strategic
thinkers; those who possess a variety of
approaches for solving problems,
comprehending complex texts, and
remembering information, and achieving
academic success
Strategies
The strategies component focuses on the
cognitive and metacognitive strategies that
learners use to make sense of new information
and concepts
Examples of learning strategies include:
Rereading,
note taking, organizing information,
predicting, self-questioning, evaluating, monitoring,
clarifying and summarizing
Strategies
SIOP studies have shown that explicit
teaching and modeling of these (and other)
strategies help students become more
strategic in their thinking and learning
(CREDE, 1996-2000)
Strategies
The ultimate goal is for students to develop
independence in self-monitoring and selfregulation through practice with peer-assisted
and student-centered strategies
Effective SIOP teachers scaffold their lessons
and provide many opportunities for learners to
practice a variety of learning strategies in order
to make the content comprehensible
Creating SIOP Lessons
When teaching strategies to further support
student understanding try some of these….
Paraphrase
Use “think-alouds” to model learning strategies
Slow speech, increasing pauses and speaking in
phrases
Use graphic organizers
Model and rehearse strategies such as:
Note
taking
Highlighting
Making flash cards
