This issue is focused on using the SIOP Model in Career and Technical Education (CTE) settings. CTE teachers provide secondary students with academic and technical knowledge to acquire work-related skills necessary for 21st century jobs.
Lesson Plans and Activities
CTE Lesson: Introduction to Boat Building: Buoyancy CTE teachers can ensure they are simultaneously developing content and language knowledge for their English learners by using the SIOP Model to plan and deliver lessons.
In this 10th grade CTE lesson, learn how a CTE and ESL teacher integrated content and language instruction through a project that asked students to design a vessel that demonstrates the idea of buoyancy.
View or download the lesson.
CTE Activity: Content and Language Objectives for CTE Content and language objectives support the Lesson Preparation component of the SIOP Model by helping teachers identify the language students need to understand and produce in their content areas and by helping to ensure that students will have the opportunities necessary to present that language.
CTE teachers may need extra support in developing content and language objectives as many SIOP-related resources are geared towards teaching in core subjects such as math, science, social studies, and English language arts. CAL SIOP has created this CTE activity which provides several resources to help CTE teachers understand how to use and create content language objectives.
