SIOP

• The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol
• is a teaching framework based on decades
• of research of best practices
• It is not an evaluation instrument
• Implementation of SIOP can and will vary
• depending on the needs of each school

4
The Components of SIOP

• It is not a hierarchy, each component has its own
  features
• 8 Components/30 Features
• We are going to begin with the component of
  Building Background

5
Building Background

• A readers schema, or knowledge of the world,
  provides a basis for understanding, learning, and
  remembering facts and ideas found in texts
• Students from low income /or culturally diverse
  backgrounds may struggle to comprehend texts and
  concepts due to a mismatch in schema
• Most reading material, such as content area
  texts, relies on an assumption of common prior
  knowledge and experience

6
Building Background

• Vocabulary knowledge correlates strongly with
  academic achievement and reading comprehension
• Limited vocabularies prevent students from
  comprehending content texts, instructions,
  directions for completing assignments and overall
  academic achievement
• addition, subtraction, continent, sentence,
  classify, summarize, identify, beaker, compare,
  paragraph

7
Building Background

• Poor readers read less often because reading may
  be difficult and frustrating for them.
  Therefore, they dont read enough to improve
  their vocabularies, and continue to find reading
  difficult.

Building Background

• At home kids do not say,
• Please pass the beaker.
• Lets compare and contrast the vegetables.
• Teaching specific vocabulary and practicing its
  usage in the classroom is vital to academic
  success
• Word and word parts are powerful tools of
  knowledge for learning the English language

10
Building Background

• Taking a few minutes to jump start students
  schemata and past learning, to explicitly find
  out what they know or have experienced about a
  topic will result in greater understanding and
  engagement

11
Building Background Component Protocol Features

• When planning lessons, please begin to consider
  the Building Background features of the
• Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol
• Concepts explicitly linked to students
  background experiences
• Links explicitly made between past learning and
  new concepts
• Key vocabulary emphasized (e.g., introduced,
  written, repeated, and highlighted for students
  to see)

12

• Implementing the SIOP model in his/her own
