SIOP  

(Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol):  ESL teachers and/or mainstream teachers reach and teach ELLs in strategic ways that make the subject matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the students’ English language development.  (Source: Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP Model by Jana Echevarria, Mary Ellen Vogt, and Deborah J. Short)
