To change this brochure, replace our sample content with your own. Or, if you'd rather start from a clean slate, press the New Slide button on the Home tab to insert a new page. Now enter your text and pictures in the empty placeholders. If you need more placeholders for titles, subtitles or body text, copy any of the existing placeholders, then drag the new one into place.
And did you notice we made fold marks for you? They are really light, but if you don’t like them showing on your brochure, select and delete them before you print.

“SIOP has bridged an enormous gap for me as an educator. It has opened my eyes to the needs of all my students, and has given me the tools I need to truly differentiate and scaffold my instruction. All of my students, not just my English language learners, have noticeably and positively responded to the changes I’ve made. Our entire staff is embracing the mindset and skills taught in SIOP.”
Tracy Jane Weidel,
ELA Teacher at Busch Middle School
