  1. THE SIOP MODEL for Teaching Mathematics to English Learners By Jana Echevarría MaryEllen Vogt Deborah J. Short Cesar Javier Reyes SMU April 2012

  2. INTRODUCTION • SIOP: Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol • 8 components and 30 features: • Lesson preparation • Building background • Comprehensible input • Strategies • Interaction • Practice & Application • Lesson delivery • Review & Assessment

  3. CHAPTER 1: The Academic Language of Mathematics. • English learners and Mathematics • How does academic language fit into the SIOP model? • Content words • Process/Function words • Words and word parts (English Structure) • How is academic language manifested in classroom discourse?

  4. CHAPTER 1: The Academic Language of Mathematics (continued). • Why do English learners have difficulty with academic language? • Little time allocated for academic vocabulary • Little time allocated for oral/written language development • Low expectations from teachers • How can we effectively teach academic language in mathematics?

  5. CHAPTER 2: Lesson Planning and Unit Design. • Lesson Planning • SIOP lesson formats • What is in a SIOP lesson (For more formats visit: www.siopinstitute.net) • Unit Design • Collaborative planning

  6. CHAPTER 3: Activities and Techniques for Planning SIOP Mathematics Lessons • Lesson Preparation • Number 1-3 for self-assessment of objectives • Building Background • 4-Corners Vocabulary • KWL Chart • Comprehensible Input • Graphic Organizers

  7. CHAPTER 4: Activities and Techniques for Planning SIOP Mathematics Lessons • Strategies • You are the teacher • Vocabulary alive • Interaction • Conga line • Group responses with a white board • Find your match • Practice & Application • Bingo • Review & Assessment • Find someone who

  8. CHAPTER 5: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP Mathematics Lessons Grades k-2 • Main goal • Presentation of abstract concepts in concrete ways

  9. CHAPTER 6: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP Mathematics Lessons • Grades 3-5 • Main goal: To use sentence frames to scaffold oral practice

  10. CHAPTER 7: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP Mathematics Lessons • Grades 6-8 • Main goal: To provide a safe and language rich environment

  11. CHAPTER 8: Lesson Unit Design for SIOP Mathematics Lessons Grades 9-12 • Main goal: To provide opportunities to use English for academic purposes

  12. CORRELATION TO CLASS • Almost every component of the SIOP model has been discussed in class: • Academic vocabulary • Background knowledge • Learning strategies (CALLA) • Active learning and student centered instruction • Cooperative learning • Mr. Hernandez’s presentation

  13. WHAT DID I LEARN?

  14. Critique • The SIOP model : • Great resource for any content area teacher • Scientifically based • Develops academic content • Develops academic vocabulary

  15. WHO CAN USE THIS BOOK? • Do you have English Learners in your classroom who struggle with academic vocabulary? • Do you teach Mathematics, Social Studies, Science or Reading Language Arts? • Do you want your bilingual students to be successful English readers, writers , listeners and speakers? • Do you want to make a difference in the life of your students? • Do you want to become an even more successful teacher?
