Description:

This interactive workshop explores how the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model enhances both content and language instruction for multilingual learners in high school settings. Participants will examine the key components of the SIOP framework, analyze sample lessons that demonstrate effective implementation, and engage in collaborative discussions about best practices for supporting multilingual students’ academic success. Teachers will leave with practical strategies to strengthen their instruction and create more accessible learning experiences for all students.

• Review the eight components of the SIOP Model and how they integrate content and language instruction to support multilingual learners’ academic achievement.
• Evaluate sample lesson plans through the lens of the SIOP framework to identify effective instructional strategies for high school multilingual learners.
• Reflect on current teaching practices and develop actionable plans to incorporate SIOP components into content area instruction.
