Reach ELLs and Every Learner with SIOP Training

This two-day training dives into the SIOP framework and its classroom applications. Day One covers four key SIOP components—Lesson Preparation, Lesson Delivery, Practice and Application, and Comprehensible Input—through active, model-based learning. On Day Two, we focus on language ownership and provide strategies to help students move from “renting” language to “owning” it, especially in content areas like math and science.

"This two-day course was eye-opening. I left feeling confident and ready to implement SIOP strategies. My students are more engaged, and I’m more effective." – High School Math Teacher

Teachers Will Gain:

• In-depth understanding of SIOP components essential for language and content learning.
• Skills to help students become “language owners” in various subject areas.
• Techniques to make lessons clear, accessible, and interactive.

This four-day training, split into Parts 1 and 2, provides a comprehensive understanding of all eight SIOP components. Part 1 covers core elements to help teachers create accessible lessons, while Part 2 focuses on advanced practices, including integrating language domains, fostering metacognition, and building background knowledge. Teachers also learn strategies to reach reluctant learners and increase student engagement.

"Our entire staff did the four-day SIOP training, and the change in our classrooms was profound. The strategies we learned continue to benefit our students every day." – District Administrator

Teachers Will Gain:

• A complete understanding of all eight SIOP components.
• Advanced techniques for engaging students and fostering independent, responsible learners.
• Practical ways to support student growth in language and academic content.

Combining either Part 1 or Part 2 SIOP training with peer coaching, this option helps teachers put their training into practice. Teachers observe each other, provide feedback, and receive ongoing support to apply SIOP strategies with confidence. Peer coaching boosts implementation rates up to 90%, as teachers collaborate to deepen their skills and reinforce best practices.

"The peer coaching made all the difference. Watching my colleagues teach, and receiving their feedback, helped me apply SIOP strategies so much more effectively." – Middle School ELL Specialist

Teachers Will Gain:

• Opportunities for hands-on peer coaching to reinforce SIOP training.
• Skills in providing and receiving constructive feedback.
• A collaborative framework that builds confidence and reinforces classroom practice.
