Product Description
One of the most influential books in the field in years! Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP(R) Model presents a coherent, specific, field-tested model of sheltered instruction that specifies the features of a high quality sheltered lesson that teaches content material to English language learners. For twelve years, educators have turned to Jana Echevarria, MaryEllen Vogt, and Deborah Short for an empirically validated model of sheltered instruction. In the Third Edition of this best-seller, the authors include new research findings and studies on the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP(R)) Model, which offers school administrators, teachers, teacher candidates, coaches, university faculty, and field experience supervisors a tool for observing and quantifying a teacher's implementation of quality sheltered instruction.

Mak[[ASIN:0205518869 Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP Model (3rd Edition) (SIOP Series)] is a "must read" for all ESOL educators in today's world of high stakes testing. The SIOP model described in this book is based on research of the best practices of sheltered ESOL and regular teachers. These "best practices" are combined in a format for teachers to use in planning and executing content area lessons that will also promote English language development. Since our ESOL students are expected to pass content area tests to receive a high school diploma in four years, it is imperative that we begin teaching them content in a structured way while they learn the English language. I've been to several conferences and workshops telling about the SIOP model, but this book has helped me to truly understand it and has inspired me to use the SIOP model in my content ESOL classes in the coming school year. If you only have a limited budget for professional resources, make this book your number 1 choice. Get your faculty together and use it as professional development tool to ensure that your ESOL students are receiving the best instruction possible to eqip them for education in American schools.
Great Teaching Book June 30, 2008

This is a great teaching book. I rarely write reviews but had to make an exception for this book. It is written in a clear style and includes a CD for the computer where you can see good teaching examples. It gives and compares great teaching lessons to poor teaching lessons on the same topic from 1st grade through high school.
I have been teaching for a number of years but this book has greatly improved my teaching skills. It focuses on teaching ESL students from 1st grade through high school, emphasizing oral interaction, but the lessons are just good examples of teaching for the general classroom at any level. I highly recommend it - period!

Book arrived in a very timely manner, was in excellent condition and an excellent buy for the money. I would do business with this person again without hesitation
 not just for teacher of ell May 14, 2008
All teachers interested in differentiating instruction or administrators working with staff around DI will find this book especially useful. The publishers should advertise it as a strong reference for differentiation. As a director of instruction, i am using it with staff in several disciplines.
