• Welcome!
• Today we are going to continue looking at the
• individual components within the
• Sheltered Instruction Observation
  Protocol

3
There are 8 Componentsin 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

5
The SIOP Model

• This month we will preview the SIOP Components
• Comprehensible Input Strategies

6
Comprehensible Input

• In order for our students to understand our
  instruction, it is imperative to implement
  techniques to improve comprehensibility

7
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.)

8
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

9
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

10
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!

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

14
Strategies

• Techniques and methods for learning and retaining
  information are systematically taught, reviewed,
  and assessed in effective SIOP classrooms

15
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., think-alouds)
• A variety of questions or tasks that promote
  higher-order thinking skills (e.g., literal,
  analytical, and interpretive questions)

16
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

17
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

18
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)

19
Strategies

• The ultimate goal is for students to develop
  independence in self-monitoring and
  self-regulation 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

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
