Foster collaboration
Co-planning
• Plan instruction together
• The focus of planning is student-centered
and culturally responsive
• Write lesson plans and objectives together
• Link content concepts across the curriculum
• ESL teacher + content teacher
• Content teacher + content teacher
• Grade level teachers
Co-teaching
• Teachers plan a lesson together and share
responsibilities of lesson delivery
 Content teacher + ESL teacher
 Content teacher + coach
Demonstration Lessons
• A coach or “practiced teacher”
demonstrates a specific SIOP feature
• Builds familiarity and comfort with SIOP
Coaching
• A coach observes a SIOP class and provides
feedback in a debrief session.
• Coaching is supportive in nature. Provide
objectivity in the data observed. The person being
coached evaluates his/her own performance.
What I hear, I forget:
What I see, I remember:
What I do, I understand.
- Old Chinese proverb
Focused Class Visit
Peer:
• observes previously identified aspect(s) of
colleague’s class
• records observational data
• debriefs in post conference
Reflections
Keep a journal of your
implementation of the SIOP
Model
Audiotape / videotape yourself
and rate yourself using the
SIOP protocol.
Coaching Time Supports
Administrators must schedule coaching at convenient
times; ideally during the school day.
 Protected planning periods
 After-school meetings
 Release time for peer observations
Administration Buy-In is Key
• Promote the SIOP Model school-wide
• Support teachers during training and in implementation
stages
• Recognize the needs of teachers as adult learners
• Ensure follow-up support

steps based upon what you have learned in the
training.
