Book Description
A unique resource for teachers facing the increasing number of English language learners in today's classrooms, Sheltered Instruction for English Language Learners is a guide to the successful implementation and evaluation of sheltered instruction. It presents the first field-tested model of sheltered instruction, the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP), which provides teachers with an easy-to-use tool for planning effective sheltered lessons and reflecting on their own teaching experience. In each chapter of Sheltered Instruction for English Language Learners, real-life teaching scenarios are used to present the key components of the SIOP model. Underlying strategies, as well as specific indicators of instruction, are identified in a clear and understandable style. At the same time, each vignette is full of useful, practical suggestions for teaching English language learners. Readers can gain ideas for lessons in a variety of content areas and grade levels, and learn techniques for adapting materials and instruction to best meet students' needs. Additionally, each chapter contains a scoring guide to provide feedback on a teacher's own experiences with the sheltered approach -- helping to identify strengths and weaknesses, and point the way toward effective teaching solutions. For pre-service and in-service teachers of English language learners.

I had purchased this book for a class, I thought at first that I would not stay with this book after class; because it was just another textbook. But to my surprise this book does have an interesting form of stating the method. As a teacher, I am always looking for things to help in my teaching technique that will benefit the students. I have to say that some of the techniques that were mention in the book are what I have been doing tll now. Only that in the book it brings more indepth information to what other forms of teaching can be applicable to ones teachings. I say it is a good reading material as handy reference for new and veteran teachers too.

This is a must book for anyone who has to teach a content area to students who are learning English, whose home language is other than English. It provides an excellent instrument for self-evaluation, if one is the content-area teacher. I highly recommend it to all teachers who have English language learners in their classrooms. Nowadays, that is almost ALL teachers, K-16.

a little boring but has some good worksheets/guidelines. I would not buy this book if it weren't a class requirement. Amazon provided great and speedy service.

This book provides valuable information necessary to facilitate the needs of ELLs in the classroom. It describes strategies that are useful for all levels of English Language Learners and explains the rationales for using them. The book also presents teaching scenarios from real classrooms that use the SIOP model in order to further understand the strategies in depth.
