<p>Fundamentals of Sheltered Instruction: Featuring the SIOP Model</p>
<p> </p>
<p>New self-paced online course from CAL</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Based on decades of research by the Center for Applied Linguistics on how language is learned and extensive experience working effectively with educators to help English learners succeed in the classroom, the Fundamentals of Sheltered Instruction 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 will read and view instructional activities that showcase selected principles of sheltered instruction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each module is guided by both content and language objectives, beginning with a warm-up activity and includes a narrated PowerPoint presentation and readings. Throughout the course, participants have opportunities to reflect upon and practice the new learning;
self-assess through quizzes; view real-world examples through video demonstration; and apply lessons learned through wrap-up activity.
