At the beginning of my career, I heard about the power of the SIOP model, but it was represented as a way for foreign language and ESL teachers to instruct. Little did I know it was to scaffold language development in the homeroom. Since then, I have heard virtually nothing about it, until I began at Bogaerts International School North Campus. My school director of pedagogy, Rafael Angel, is a multi-lingual learner, so he looks at learning differently. In this picture below, he was sharing how we might scaffold language acquisition with our learners who have limited English. We did an engagement to understand Mandarin characters of numbers to dates. I have been researching SIOP online and I have found several resources that I think will help anyone who wants to scaffold the experience. One is about the structure of SIOP and the other is about engagements under each structure.
SIOP® 8 Components and 30 features From Tupelo Public School District SIOP® 99 Ideas & Activities by Langley School District I love when schools adopt a program and make it their own, so it's a bit easier to understand. If you have ever been on the fence or are new to SIOP, I hope this will help you.
