SIOP UPDATE What can be learned from CAL’s latest research on the SIOP model?
Project Goal To determine if the academic performance of middle and high school English language learners improve under the instruction of SIOP-trained teachers
Academic Literacy through Sheltered Instruction for Secondary English Language Learners • Project since 2004 • Compared 60 educators trained in SIOP in Clifton NJ with 24 educators who were not SIOP-trained at a comparison site in NJ • Collected data from students taught by SIOP-trained teachers in Clifton and a comparison group whose teachers were not SIOP-trained
Professional Development of Clifton Project • CAL staff worked with content and ESL teachers • 7 days of training in 2004-05 • Summer institute • Follow-up workshops • Substitutes for classes provided • On-site coaches to support lesson planning and delivery
Do teachers reach high levels of implementation of the SIOP Model during a sustained professional development program after 1 year? • SIOP-trained teachers increased their SIOP implementation level on average by 19% • Per SIOP component, the range of the percentage growth gain was from 12% (Comprehensible Input) to 39% (lesson delivery)
Does implementation of the SIOP Model in content classrooms result in increased student achievement after 1 year? • Students who had SIOP-trained teachers had a significant percentage growth in their average IPT scores for oral, reading, and writing subtests.
What it is: Language sensitive content class Framework requiring extensive and sustained training, support, and coaching Class with structured task in all four language domains: L,S, R, W What it is not: A packaged program Quick and easy to implement Just good teaching The SIOP Model
