Deepen your expertise in supporting teachers with implementation of the SIOP Model through job-embedded coaching and professional learning. Designed specifically for instructional coaches who want to strengthen their ability to provide sustained, site-based support, join us for this interactive online offering.

This comprehensive and interactive institute is designed for instructional coaches and educational leaders who support teachers in implementing the SIOP Model. Ideal for those with prior SIOP training and experience, this advanced institute deepens participants’ understanding of the model while strengthening their capacity to deliver impactful, job-embedded professional development.

Participants will revisit key components and features of the SIOP Model to refine their knowledge and instructional leadership. They will also explore advanced strategies for supporting teachers, including:

• Coaching and co-planning lessons by content area and grade level
• Facilitating professional learning communities
• Conducting lesson study
• Implementing sustainable, site-based professional development

The institute follows a dynamic flipped-classroom model, blending synchronous and asynchronous online learning. Participants will attend four live 4.5-hour sessions and complete self-paced assignments between sessions. Asynchronous tasks include:

• Watching recorded mini-lectures
• Reading relevant research
• Analyzing classroom videos of SIOP lessons
• Designing coaching and PD plans
• Engaging with peers via discussion boards and blog posts

Participants will also benefit from small-group coaching with CAL facilitators and opportunities to network with fellow PD providers from across the globe.
