SUMMARY:CAL SIOP for Educators: Foundations
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your knowledge and use of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model to support classroom instruction for Multilingual learners at your school or district. Please join us for this engaging online version of our CAL SIOP Overview. \nInstitute Details\nThis multi-day comprehensive and interactive workshop is designed to help participants plan and deliver CAL SIOP Model lessons for linguistically and culturally diverse students. \nPreK-12 teachers will learn and practice implementing the eight research-based components of the SIOP Model to teach language and content effectively. The Institute will include a variety of activities\, including demonstrations\, simulations and explanations\, small-group tasks\, video classroom observations\, and the creation of activities and lessons. The workshop will encourage reflection needed for each teacher to adapt the CAL SIOP methods to their content area\, grade level\, student proficiency levels\, program models\, and school initiatives. \nThe SIOP for Educators: Foundations Institute is designed for those with little to no working knowledge of the SIOP Model. Participants will review the components of the SIOP Model and acquire knowledge and skills to help PreK-12 or adult education teachers better integrate content and language instruction for multilingual learners. \nReflecting upon the eight major components of sheltered instruction\, the SIOP Model provides a framework for teachers to plan integrated language and content lessons. Used as a lesson planning framework\, it ensures that the features of effective instruction critical for language learners are present in all lessons. This workshop series will include a variety of activities such as jigsaw/partner readings\, mini lessons on language acquisition\, small group lesson planning\, video demonstrations\, and hands-on activities that can be adapted for the classroom. Educators will either individually or collaboratively plan lessons specific to their classrooms. Administrators\, coaches\, and teachers are encouraged to attend as a team. \nBased on an interactive flipped classroom model\, this cohort will participate in both synchronous and asynchronous online learning. \nThe synchronous portion will entail participants attending four 4.5-hour live online sessions. Through an asynchronous\, self-paced format\, participants will complete online activities that supplement the presentations. They will listen to recorded mini lectures\, read relevant research articles\, watch classroom videos of SIOP lessons\, apply what they learn to their lesson plans\, and interact with other participants through discussion boards and blog posts. Participants will have the opportunity to meet online with CAL facilitators weekly to discuss best practices in SIOP lesson planning\, network with other educators from schools around the world\, and receive individual/small group coaching from a CAL PD facilitator. Teachers will develop a complete SIOP Lesson plan to use as a model for future planning. \nThis is the right strand for those who: \n\nHave limited or little experience with the SIOP Model and would like a review of the eight components and 30 features\nMay have attended a SIOP workshop in the past\, but would like to prepare to teach others about the SIOP Model\nAre available once a week between June 2 and 28\, 2026\, for the synchronous sessions and to complete approximately 1 hour of self-paced assignments per week (as determined by the instructor)\nNote: Each participant must have their own device for the virtual presentation. Multiple individuals on one device will not be accommodated. \n\nPlease note: this institute is not intended for those with extensive SIOP Model knowledge. Contact CAL about the SIOP Training of Trainers or other workshops that we can bring to your school or district. Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nAgenda\nJune 2\, 2026: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET \n\nIntroduction to Second Language Acquisition\nSIOP Overview\nLesson Preparation Component\n\nContent and Language Objectives\nMeaningful Activities\nAdapting Materials\n\n\nCollaborative Lesson Planning\n\nJune 9\, 2026: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET \n\nBuilding Background Component\n\nLinks to Student Backgrounds\nEmphasizing Key Vocabulary\n\n\nComprehensible Input Component\n\nEnhancing Comprehension\nDifferentiating Comprehensible Input Techniques\n\n\nCollaborative Lesson Planning\n\nJune 16\, 2026: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET \n\nStrategies Component\n\nLearner Strategies (cognitive\, metacognitive\, language learning\, and socio-affective)\nScaffolding Techniques\nHigher Order Questioning\n\n\nInteraction Component\n\nTeacher/Student and Student/Student Interaction\nTranslanguaging vs. Translating\n\n\nCollaborative Lesson Planning\n\nJune 23\, 2026: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET \n\nPractice & Application Component\n\nAcademic Language Opportunities\nIntegrating the Four Language Domains\n\n\nLesson Delivery Component\n\nStudent Engagement\nPacing and Differentiation\n\n\nReview & Assessment Component\n\nComprehensive Review of Key Vocabulary and Concepts\nProviding Feedback\nAssessing Student Comprehension\n\n\nCollaborative Lesson Planning\n\nSelf-Paced Content \n\nBetween June 2 and 28\, 2026\, participants will be expected to complete approximately 4 hours of various assignments and prepare a sample SIOP lesson plan to share with the cohort of participants.\n\nSchedule\n\nThere will be four 4.5-hour synchronous mini-workshop sessions from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET on June 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\, 2026.\nNote: Due to the variety of participants joining us from across and outside the U.S.\, all workshops will be held using Eastern Time (ET).
