CAL SIOP Training of Trainers Institute: Advanced Coaching Strategies

January 4, 11, 18, and 25, 2024

Learn effective strategies for providing job-embedded support for teachers implementing the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model in your schools. Please join us for this engaging online version of our 2024 CAL SIOP TOT.

This comprehensive and interactive institute is designed to help participants develop and deliver SIOP Model professional development as coaches or other instructional leadership roles.

The Advanced Strategies Institute is designed for participants with prior knowledge of the SIOP Model who support teachers in its implementation. In this institute, participants will review and renew specific components and features to deepen their understanding of the SIOP Model. Participants will also extend their professional skills in supporting teachers’ application of the model by exploring the implementation of job-embedded professional development practices such as coaching, guided lesson planning by content area/grade level, development of professional learning communities, and lesson study.

Based on an interactive flipped classroom model, the 2024 cohort will participate in synchronous and asynchronous online learning. The 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 and “coach” classroom videos of SIOP lessons, apply what they learn to their coaching plans, and interact with other participants through discussion boards and blog posts. Participants will connect online with CAL facilitators weekly to discuss best practices in SIOP professional development, network with other PD facilitators from schools worldwide, and receive small group coaching from a CAL PD coach.

This is the right strand of professional development for those who:

• Have attended a full introductory SIOP workshop and have a strong knowledge base of the SIOP Model
• Have implemented the SIOP Model in their classrooms or have a lot of experience supporting teachers who implement the SIOP Model
• Have attended the CAL SIOP Training of Trainers Institute: Foundations or similar school-based and district-based training.
• Can identify examples of SIOP implementation but need more assistance in helping teachers implement with fidelity.
• Are available between January 4 and 25, 2024, to complete approximately 2 hours of self-paced online assignments per week (to include watching videos, reading articles, listening to mini-lectures on SIOP components, and planning for their own PD sessions, etc.).
• Can join remote/teleconference sessions on the days and times listed below.
• Note: Each participant must have their own device for the virtual presentation. Multiple individuals on one device will not be accommodated.

Please note: this institute is not intended for those learning SIOP for the first time. Contact CAL about SIOP introductory workshops that we can deliver in your schools. Questions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings.
