Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol

SIOP^® Training for Administrators 

The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol Model^® (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2004) is a proven, evidence-based framework for improving the academic achievement of English Language Learners (ELLs).  The SIOP^® model facilitates high quality instruction for ELLs in content area teaching.  While the SIOP^® Model was developed specifically to ensure quality instruction for ELLs, it has been shown to be effective in addressing the needs of all students.  In this training, administrators will learn about the SIOP^® model and how it can be effectively implemented in their schools to improve instruction for English Language Learners.
