Making Content Comprehensible for Elementary Multilingual Learners: The SIOP® Model is a valuable SIOP lesson planning and teaching guide that explores the educational context and needs of elementary-level learners. Formally known as the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol, the SIOP’s 8 components are discussed with theoretical background and current research. Targeted teaching techniques, suggestions for differentiation, and elementary classroom teaching vignettes illustrate each component.

The 4th Edition increases focus on technology, on MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports for Multilingual Students), and on collaborative implementation of the SIOP model. Demographics and research are updated throughout. New features include perspectives of SIOP educators and classroom artifacts, and more.
