What Is the SIOP Model?
The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model* is a research-based and validated instructional model that has proven effective in addressing the academic needs of English learners throughout the United States.
The SIOP Model consists of eight interrelated components:
- Lesson Preparation
- Building Background
- Comprehensible Input
- Strategies
- Interaction
- Practice/Application
- Lesson Delivery
- Review/Assessment
Using instructional strategies connected to each of these components, teachers are able to design and deliver lessons that address the academic and linguistic needs of English learners.
The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)
The SIOP model, developed by Jana Echevarria, MaryEllen Vogt, and Deborah Short (2008) in collaboration with ESOL teachers, organizes research, theory, and practice in the field of language learning into a coherent framework consisting of thirty features which are divided into eight components. The focus of the SIOP framework is to make academic content comprehensible while developing students' academic English language skills through content instruction. While the model incorporates many features of effective teaching for all students (i.e., cooperative learning, the integration of the four language modalities), it includes features specifically designed to promote the academic success of ELLs in particular (i.e., the inclusion of language objectives in content lessons, development of background knowledge). The SIOP framework serves as an "umbrella" by which districts, schools, and teachers can fit their existing instructional programs.
