The Dearborn Teacher University professional development December session provided our newly hired professional staff with an introduction of Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol or The SIOP Model as it is known by most educators. Two of our EL Department trainers and coaches, led by Kellie Bugajski and Jeannine Oynoian spent the hour receiving a brief overview about the eight components embedded in SIOP. Participants were divided up into small groups to engage in Word Sorts, Structured Reading and Structured Conversation activities. The presenters modeled the various SIOP lessons and strategies with the hopes that our new staff could apply these ideas in their classrooms.
The presentation from this session is available on the Dearborn Teacher University tab under “PD Presentations.”
