Helping Educators Work Effectively With English Language Learners
As the number of English learners increases in schools across the United States, educators are seeking effective ways to help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Prairie Lakes AEA is hosting three days of learning on the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol. The Aug. 15-16 dates will focus on an overview, moves, and implementation. The Aug. 17 session will be a train the trainer workshop. All workshops will be held at Fort Dodge Middle School.
The SIOP Model* is a research-based and validated model of sheltered instruction that has been widely and successfully used across the U.S. for over 15 years Professional development in the SIOP Model helps teachers plan and deliver lessons that allow English learners to acquire academic knowledge as they develop English language proficiency. CAL participated in the development of the SIOP Model and continues to conduct SIOP research.
