The SIOP Model Faculty Presentation Welcome! Today we are going to begin looking at the individual components within the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol There are 8 Components in the SIOP Model Lesson Preparation Building Background Comprehensible Input Strategies Interaction Practice and Application Lesson Delivery Review and Assessment 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 Components of SIOP It is not a hierarchy, each component has its own features 8 Components/30 Features We are going to begin with the component of Building Background Building Background A reader’s schema, or knowledge of the world, provides a basis for understanding, learning, and remembering facts and ideas found in texts Students from low income &/or culturally diverse backgrounds may struggle to comprehend texts and concepts due to a mismatch in schema Most reading material, such as content area texts, relies on an assumption of common prior knowledge and experience Building Background Vocabulary knowledge correlates strongly with academic achievement and reading comprehension Limited vocabularies prevent students from comprehending content texts, instructions, directions for completing assignments and overall academic achievement addition, subtraction, continent, sentence, classify, summarize, identify, beaker, compare, paragraph Building Background Poor readers read less often because reading may be difficult and frustrating for them. Therefore, they don’t read enough to improve their vocabularies, and continue to find reading difficult. “The Matthew Effect” The rich get richer, the poor get poorer Less vocabulary development Low comprehension Less reading Stanovich, 1986 Building Background At home kids do not say, “Please pass the beaker.” “Let’s compare and contrast the vegetables.” Teaching specific vocabulary and practicing it’s usage in the classroom is vital to academic success Word and word parts are powerful tools of knowledge for learning the English language Building Background Taking a few minutes to “jump start” students’ schemata and past learning, to explicitly find out what they know or have experienced about a topic will result in greater understanding and engagement Building Background Component & Protocol Features When planning lessons, please begin to consider the Building Background features of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol Concepts explicitly linked to students’ background experiences Links explicitly made between past learning and new concepts Key vocabulary emphasized (e.g., introduced, written, repeated, and highlighted for students to see) SIOP Coach Support SIOP Coaches are in each building to assist with: Implementing the SIOP model in his/her own classroom Observe and coach fellow SIOP coaches & teachers Coach/support other staff members who have taken SIOP Attend district supported, on-going professional development Provide building level professional development that will continue to build awareness of SIOP Encourage teachers to complete SIOP Training Faculty SIOP Support Pocatello/Chubbuck School District October SIOP Overview of Components November Building Background December Interaction February Comprehensible Input/Strategies March Practice and Application April Review and Assessment May Lesson Preparation/Delivery
