Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol Model
SIOPLucia Buttaro, Ph.D.
OBJECTIVES
•Overview of the SIOP Model•Unpacking 4 components
• Comprehensible Input• Interaction• Practice and application• Lesson Delivery
Components of the SIOP Model
• Preparation
• Building Background
• Comprehensible Input
• Strategies
• Interaction
• Practice/Application
• Lesson Delivery
• Review/Assessment
Comprehensible Input
• Speech appropriate for students’ proficiency levels (slower rate, enunciation and simple sentence structure for beginners)
• Clear explanation of academic tasks
• A variety of techniques used to make concepts clearer (e.g., modeling, visuals, hands-on activities, demonstrations, gestures, body language)
Interaction Component• What is interaction?• Contact and discussion between teacher/student and
student to student about lesson concepts to encourage deeper thought and more language use.
• Uses group configuration among students• Provides for sufficient wait time for student responses• Gives opportunities for students to clarify key concepts in
their native language as needed (this is a unique feature of SIOP)

Making Content Comprehensible: Interaction
http://vidego.multicastmedia.com/player.php?p=d7y4u441
Opportunities for Interaction
• Encourage more elaborate responses• Vary group configurations (random, voluntary, assigned)• Whole group, flexible small groups, partners, triads• Homogenous/heterogeneous (gender, language
proficiency, ability, etc.)• Allow adequate wait time• Clarify concepts in L1 if needed-teacher or peers clarify
concepts or use native text, dictionaries or other tools
Practice and Application
• Hands on materials and/or manipulatives provided for students to practice using new content knowledge
• Activities provided for students to apply content and language knowledge in the classroom.
• Activities integrate all language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing)
Focus on key vocabulary
• Contextualize key vocabulary
• Personal dictionaries
• Content word wall
• Cloze sentences
• Vocabulary through songs
Cognitive strategies for active learning
•Previewing/re-reading•Establishing a purpose for reading•Making connections•Reading aloud•Highlighting•Taking notes•Mnemonics
Social/affective strategies
• Interaction/questioning
• Cooperative learning
• Group discussion/self talk
• i.e.. Think/pair/share
Key Definitions
• Practice: refers to the opportunities provided to English language learners to become familiar, analyze and/or experiment with content and language topics
• Application: refers to the ways in which learners apply what they have learned in different contexts and situations
Practice and Application
• Tools• hands-on materials
and/or manipulatives• Language and
content knowledge – rich activities
• Language skills-integrated activities
• Purpose:• For students to practice
with new content knowledge
• For students to apply learning in the classroom
• For students to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing
Lesson Delivery
• Content Objectives clearly supported by lesson delivery
• Language objectives clearly supported by lesson delivery
• Students engaged approximately 90% to 100% of the period
• Pacing of the lesson appropriate to students’ ability level
Lesson Delivery Features
• Content Objectives should be clearly supported by the lesson delivery (stated orally – written on board for all to see)
• Language objectives should be clearly supported by the lesson delivery (stated orally and written on board for all to see)
Lesson Delivery Features
* Class time needs to be planned efficiently – all aspects of student engagement should be considered:•Well planned lessons•Clear explanations of academic tasks or instructions•Appropriate amount of time to spend on academic task•Strong classroom management•Opportunities for students to apply learning in meaningful ways•Active student involvement•Lesson design that meets the language and learning needs of the students
More on Lesson Delivery Features
• Students should be engaged approximately 90-100% of the time during the lesson (engagement minimizes boredom and off-task behaviors)
• Pacing of the lesson should be appropriate to the students’ ability level brisk enough to maintain students’ interests, but not too quick to lose their understanding)
SIOP Summary
• Review Key Features of SIOP• Provide Time for “Works/Quirks/Questions”
• Evaluation Handout which will include:
S – Something I learned…I – I will use…O – One question I have…P – Please clarify this…
English Language Learners
• “If the child is not learning the way you are teaching, then you must teach the way the child learns” – Rita Dunn
