The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol 2

Who are our students? 3  English Language Learners  Children of Poverty  ALL Children

Sheltered Instruction 4 Objectives: Participants will develop a working knowledge of the first 3 components of sheltered instruction. Participants will brainstorm ideas on how to develop a systemic plan for the implementation of sheltered instruction.

Sheltered Instruction 5 How we will meet our objectives: Participants will recall and list topical information from readings, previous trainings and personal experiences. Participants will articulate and listen to various points of view related to the day’s topic. Participants will negotiate meaning from and respond to essential questions related to sheltered instruction and the SIOP Model.

Sheltered Instruction 6 How we will meet our objectives: Participants will practice creating written language objectives as related to the needs of their lessons and the students they serve. Individually and in groups, participants will begin to synthesize the day’s information through dialogue and reflection.

Sheltered Instruction 7 What is sheltered instruction? What are our assumptions about the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)?

Sheltered Instruction 8 On the surface sheltered instruction represents: An instructional model for lesson planning and delivery; and The observation instrument for rating the fidelity of lessons to the model.

Sheltered Instruction 9 Two essential tenets of the instructional model include: Content Objectives; and Language Objectives. What do these concepts mean to you? Which one is done consistently? How is this related to our first dialogue?

Content Objective: 9-12.G.1.2 Find the area and perimeter of a geometric figure composed of a combination of two or more rectangles, triangles, and/or semicircles with just edges in common. Language Objectives: With your learning partner you will use mathematical vocabulary to explain the process for finding the area and perimeter of geometric figures. During a carousel activity, your group will construct a Venn Diagram to contrast and compare the area and perimeter of one geometric figure to another. Work in pairs to solve and justify statements about the area and perimeter of geometric figures. 21 Sample Content and Language Objectives 9 th Grade Geometry
