SAMALA He can talk pretty well with his friends in English, but school work is hard. Only Science class makes sense to him. He wonders why his Science class is easier for him to understand than his English class.

BB: Why is Sione’s Science class easier for him to understand? Sister Vimahi English Brother Takelo Science T: stood 12 min. talking— S: tried to understand T: wrote numbers on board, kids got out books S: got out his book and matched 1st page number on board S: Sound out words on the page 1 by 1 (knew some, but it didn’t make sense) T: “Keep quiet!” S: “Why is this class so hard?” T: “Watch as I model the experiment.” S: worked with friends to do the same experiment. T: “Always look at the pictures first.” S: liked science bk—pictures, drawings T: “Write words in your personal science dictionary.

LDS Schools in the South Pacific We want students like Sione to be successful in school and beyond. Such success will allow him to… “…become a light unto the world and an ensign unto the nations that others seeing their good works may be led to glorify Thee, the Lord.” DEDICATORY PRAYER OF LIAHONA By Elder LeGrande Richards Dec. 1, 1953

READING, WRITING & ORAL LANGUAGE SKILLS are… NEEDED by ELLs so they can do…. Mathematical Reasoning Science Skills History Concepts… The relationship between literacy proficiency and academic achievement rises as grade levels rise. Els must develop literacy skills for each content area in English as they simultaneously learn, comprehend, and apply content area concepts though English.

PROBLEM: Teaching Techniques INCONSISTENT From CLASS TO CLASS

SIOP = SI OP Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (written procedural method)

What is Sheltered Instruction? (SI) Teach grade level content to English Learners --use strategies that will help them understand --while they are developing English language skills Teachers use the scaffolding process— --adjust speech --adjust instructional tasks --provide background information and experiences I underlined—take turns reading as other lines appear

A SCAFFOLDING a temporary structure used to SUPPORT people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large structures.

SCAFFOLDING= Teachers providing support so ELs can participate at their own levels of proficiency Prompting Paraphrasing a response Providing clues Showing visuals Providing an outline OR graphic organizer Writing words—keep posted for students to see and refer to temporary support

Written list of teaching features Used for observing teachers What is the OP of SIOP? OBSERVATION PROTOCOL Written list of teaching features Used for observing teachers Written steps for a procedure

SIOP Terminology 1. SIOP Model = lesson planning and delivery system 2. SIOP Protocol = the instrument used to observe, rate, and provide feedback on lessons

SIOP Class Goal: WHILE PREPARE TEACHERS TO… Teach content effectively to English learners WHILE Developing the students’ language ability NOTE: SUNRAYS How wonderful when all teachers are using the same framework. BB: Without looking, tell your partner what “SIOP” means.

SIOP = Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol “If you are going to rate our lessons based on the protocol, shouldn’t we use it to plan our lessons?”
