Definition of Sheltered Instruction A means for making grade-level academic content (e.g., science, social studies, math) more accessible for English language learners while at the same time promoting their English language development.

What we know about ELs In 1998, 30% of Hispanic students dropped out compared to 14% for African Americans and 8% for Whites (8%) (Ruiz-de-Velasco & Fix, 2000). Garcia (1993) suggests that this high dropout rate may be a direct result of the achievement gap, partially created by a lack of vocabulary skills.

EL Demographics Nearly one of every 5 students entering U.S. schools speaks a language other than English. One in 10 is born outside the U.S. (2000 Census) One in 3 school children is from an ethnic or racial minority group. Title and language words run automatically After Namasthe (10th word) click for “Nearly one of every five students … Some words disappear Click again: “One in 3 school children is from an ethic or racial minority group.” More words disappear Click again: “One in ten is born outside the U. S.” More words disappear Pause for P to think, Do not discuss Say: Maybe we should say HELLO! (shocked sounding) instead of hello (greeting type) Click for next slide Hola!

What does SIOP Planning Look Like? With your table, discuss language objectives you could integrate in your subject areas.

Math / Grade 3 1. 01 Develop number sense for whole numbers c Math / Grade 3 1.01 Develop number sense for whole numbers c. Compare and order Content number sense for whole numbers Language: vocabulary & patterns Orally compare and order numbers with a partner using the following vocabulary words: greater, greatest, less, least, equal to What does compare mean?

SIOP Teacher Feedback I saw one teacher get a lesson back on track by pointing to the objectives and stating that they had a lot to cover so they needed to stay focused. (Arizona) It's a basic learning styles issue.  Some students are more visual learners so seeing the objectives will register with them when hearing the objectives may not. (Arkansas)
