Fundamentals of Sheltered Instruction: Featuring the SIOP Model

This self-paced online course is designed to help administrators and teachers increase their knowledge about sheltered instruction to support the language and content learning needs of English learners.

This online course is divided into modules designed to increase knowledge about how language is learned in the content area classroom and explore the characteristics and benefits of sheltered instruction. Using examples based on the widely-used and effective SIOP Model, participants learn practical activities that can be used right away in their schools and classrooms.

• Module 3: Content and Language Objectives

Each module can be done at your own pace and it should take no more than five hours to complete all three modules.
