CAL SIOP Training of Trainers Institute: Foundations
June 14, 2023
June 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th, 2023 | Enhance your Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model knowledge to support delivery of effective professional development workshops at your school or district. Please join us for this engaging online version of our CAL SIOP TOT.
This comprehensive and interactive institute is designed to help participants develop and deliver SIOP Model professional development as facilitators in their school or district.
The SIOP Foundations Training of Trainers institute is designed for those with a basic working knowledge of the SIOP Model through past SIOP Model workshop attendance, self-study, or classroom implementation. Participants will review the components of the SIOP Model and acquire knowledge and skills to help PreK-12 or adult education teachers better integrate content and language instruction for English learners as Professional Development facilitators.
Based on an interactive flipped classroom model, this cohort will participate in both synchronous and asynchronous online learning. The synchronous portion will entail participants attending 4 4.5-hour live, online sessions. Through an asynchronous, self-paced format, participants will complete online activities that supplement the presentations. They will listen to recorded mini-lectures, read relevant research articles, watch and “coach” classroom videos of SIOP lessons, apply what they learn to their coaching plans, and interact with other participants through discussion boards and blog posts. Participants will have the opportunity to meet online with CAL facilitators weekly to discuss best practices in SIOP professional development, network with other PD facilitators from schools around the world, and receive small group coaching from a CAL PD coach.
This is the right strand for those who:
- Have limited, or little experience with the SIOP Model, and would like a review of the eight components and 30 features
- May have attended a SIOP workshop in the past, but would like to prepare to teach others about the SIOP Model
- Are interested in beginning to develop the skills of a SIOP facilitator
- Are available between June 7, – 28, 2023 to complete approximately 2 hours of self-paced online assignments per week (to include watching videos, reading articles, listening to mini-lectures on SIOP components, and planning for their own PD sessions, etc.).
- Are able to join remote/teleconference sessions on the days and times listed below.
- Note: for the virtual presentation, each participant must have their own device. Multiple individuals on one device will not be accommodated.
Please note: this institute is not intended for those who have extensive knowledge of the SIOP Model. Contact CAL about the SIOP Advanced Strategies or other workshops that we can bring to your school or district. Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings.
