SIOP Model Making Content Comprehensible for English Language Learners Review and Assessment SIOP Model Making Content Comprehensible for English Language Learners

Content Objectives Select techniques for reviewing key concepts. Incorporate a variety of assessment techniques into lessons Describe the challenges in assessing the content learning of students with limited English profiency.

Language Objectives Write a lesson plan that includes review of key vocabulary Orally provide feedback to ELs that enhances language development Use oral, written, and physical means to provide specific feedback to students on their performance

Remember: other than Preparation, there is no hierarchy or order to the SIOP components. Review and assess throughout each lesson and again as the lesson concludes. Throughout the lesson we have the opportunity to assess students’ progress towards the content and language objectives.

Review is essential During a class period , ELs may receive between 50 to 90 minutes of input in a new language. Teachers need to highlight what is important and review key information.

Review of new vocabulary Multiple exposures to new terminology builds familiarity, confidence, and English proficiency. It is ineffective to teach vocabulary only with the “word list.” The more exposures students have to a new word, especially if the vocabulary is taught through different modalities, the more likely the word will be remembered and used. See diagram page 169.

Review of new vocabulary Sample ways to review (page 170) Word Study Books/Personal Dictionaries Word Walls Act out words Four Square Draw a picture Scaffolding Make a list of vocabulary review activities at table. Share with whole group.

Review of Key Concepts Understandings should be scaffolded throughout the lesson. Stop and briefly summarize what the class has learned so far. Students may summarize with partner, write in journal, or list key ideas on board. Use outcome sentences at end of lesson (pg 170) I wonder… I discovered… I still want to know… I learned… I still do not understand…

Feedback Provide specific academic feedback. Feedback should clarify and correct misconceptions. Paraphrasing supports the student’s understanding and validates answers. Feedback can be oral, written, or physical.

Process Review and assessment is an ongoing process. Assessment and evaluation are not the same. Assessment is the gathering of information about a students learning. Evaluation is making judgments about a students learning. The process of assessment can be seen as progressive: first should come assessment and then evaluation.

Use ABCD cards Content objectives are Statements that identify what a student should know. Statements about the language used during a class. Statements that identify assessments. Statements that evaluate.

Use ABCD cards SIOP stands for: A. Secondary Illiterate Obese Pigeons B. Sheltered Instruction Observation Performance C. Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol D. Shelties Indigently Orally Purr
