SUMMARY:CAL SIOP for Dual Language Programs: Developing Academic Language and Content in Two Languages
DESCRIPTION:Learn SIOP methods for meeting the three pillars of dual language education: bilingualism and biliteracy\, high academic achievement\, and sociocultural competence! \nParticipants will explore and practice the eight components of the SIOP Model to strengthen their ability to teach language and content while addressing the three pillars of dual language programs: bilingualism and biliteracy\, high academic achievement\, and sociocultural competence. The institute will feature interactive elements such as chats\, polls\, and breakout-room activities to create an engaging online learning experience. Teachers will be encouraged to reflect on their practice and adapt CAL SIOP strategies to their own classroom contexts. Participants are encouraged to attend in district or school teams. No prior knowledge of the SIOP Model is required. \n  \nThe SIOP Model is a research-based system for lesson design and delivery that integrates language and content instruction. It was originally developed as an observation protocol to measure the quality of sheltered lessons for language learners and has since evolved into a widely used method for teachers to plan\, deliver\, and assess meaningful lessons while reflecting on their practice. Each component of the model is supported by empirical studies (August & Shanahan\, 2006; Christian et al.\, 2006) and the model as a whole has a well-established and growing research base (Canges et al.\, 2011; Fidelman et al.\, 2012; Friend\, McCrary\, and Most\, 2009; McIntyre et al.\, 2010; Song\, 2016; Lindahl & Watkins\, 2010). The CAL SIOP Model for Dual Language Programs has been adapted for use in settings where both English and a partner language are used to deliver content instruction. \nGrounded in the eight major components of sheltered instruction\, the SIOP Model provides a framework for planning lessons that integrate language and content objectives (Short\, 2013). Educators in this institute will collaborate to design dual language classroom activities that include content\, language\, and cultural objectives\, build strategies for teaching metalinguistic awareness\, and apply scaffolding techniques to support both comprehension and production. \nThis 15-hour institute (12 synchronous hours and 3 optional asynchronous\, self-paced hours) is designed to help leaders\, specialists\, coaches\, and teachers plan for and implement CAL SIOP methods that meet the needs of students learning in not one but two languages. It will include: \n\nSix two-hour virtual\, synchronous sessions delivered over two weeks\nAn optional three-hour self-paced asynchronous assignment\nOpportunities to interact with educators from your own and other schools and districts\nPractical strategies that can be applied to instruction immediately.\n\nLearning Outcomes \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDefine sheltered instruction in the context of dual language instruction.\nDevelop effective content\, language\, and cultural objectives.\nCreate activities for vocabulary development and background building.\nScaffold language for content learning and use L1 to scaffold to L2 content.\nDevise ways to compare and contrast (bridge) languages.\nDesign interactive activities that promote the use of language models.\nDistinguish between practice and application and apply to bilingual environments.\nDescribe the fundamentals of effective lesson delivery in dual language programs.\nDesign assessments for language learners and assess tasks from the perspective of students learning in two languages.\n\nWho Should Attend                                                                                                   \nThis institute is designed for educators and instructional leaders working in dual language or bilingual program settings who want to strengthen their ability to integrate language and content instruction. It is ideal for: \n\nPreK–12 teachers in dual language\, transitional bilingual\, or other bilingual program models\nESL and bilingual specialists supporting classroom instruction\nInstructional coaches and curriculum leaders who guide teachers in effective program implementation\nSchool and district administrators seeking to deepen their understanding of the CAL SIOP Model for Dual Language programs\n\nParticipants are encouraged to attend in school or district teams to maximize collaboration and application of strategies. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nAgenda\nTuesday\, May 5\, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \n\nOverview of CAL SIOP for DL Model\nLesson Preparation\n\nWednesday\, May 6\, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \n\nLesson Preparation\, continued\nBuilding or Eliciting Background\n\nThursday\, May 7\, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \n\nVocabulary Development\nComprehensible Input\n\nBreak (No class on Friday\, May 8 –  Monday\, May 11) \nTuesday\, May 12\, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \n\nComprehensible Input\, continued\nStrategies\n\nWednesday\, May 13\, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \n\nInteraction\nPractice and Application\nLesson Delivery\n\nThursday\, May 14\, 2026 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \n\nReview and Assessment\, continued\nResources for the 3rd Pillar: Sociocultural Competence\n\nSelf-Paced Content \n\nThe institute will include a 3-hour self-paced assignment.\n\nCost \n\nEarly bird pricing (individual): $720 per person if registered by April 14\, 2026\nStandard individual rate: $780 per person for registrations after April 14\, 2026\nGroups of 2 or more qualify for the early bird rate of $720 per person\nCost includes all digital training materials and one-year access to course content\nRegister early—space is limited\nRegistration closes on April 28\, 2026\n\nCertificate of Completion \nParticipants will earn a CAL Credly Digital badge and certificate for 15 hours of participation issued through the Credly platform\, recognizing full participation and engagement in the institute.
