This new addition to the SIOP series provides effective professional development and coaching for all those involved with English learners.

 

 

 

  • Voices from the Field:  Educators from sixteen U.S. school districts that have been implementing the SIOP Model for several years provide detailed information about the challenges in meeting the needs of their English learners. Their suggestions include school and district-level SIOP implementation hints for success and are also easily found in the inside front and back covers.
  • Models of SIOP Implementation:  It is clear, when examining how schools and districts have implemented the SIOP Model, that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.  Here, you will find a model of implementation that most closely matches your own school and district contexts.
  • Coaching Do’s and Don’ts: Throughout the country, districts are hiring SIOP coaches to assist teachers with implementing the SIOP Model.  A SIOP coach has expertise and responsibilities that differ from other coaches and these are explicated here.
  • Classroom Implementation of the SIOP Model:  While everyone responsible for the education of English learners is concerned about their academic success, classroom teachers have the greatest responsibility for providing effective and appropriate instruction.  Specific recommendations are included for creating effective SIOP-based classroom.
