Touro College TESOL candidate Eva Sipe’s SIOP lesson plan and presentation for EDDN 637
Context and Overview
The focus in the Touro TESOL course EDDN 637 Second Language Learners and the Content Areas is on practicing effective approaches, methods, and strategies for teaching and evaluating English language learners in the content areas (ELA, social studies, math and science). Teacher candidates are required to design a sheltered instruction lesson following the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model, a research-based and validated instructional model that has proven effective in addressing the academic needs of English learners throughout the United States. Candidates need to explain how and why they’ve decided on the specific lesson content and language needs to be addressed. Activities focus on assessing student needs before, during and upon lesson completion to enhance future instructional planning. An outstanding SIOP lesson plan was submitted by Touro TESOL candidate Eva Sipe.
