MaryEllen Vogt

In this guidebook, Jana Echeverría and MaryEllen Vogt propose an approach based on the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model. The authors offer a helpful roadmap for practitioners by outlining a number of considerations and interventions for Tiers 1, 2, and 3, including guides and examples for each tier, as well as extensive information about best instructional practices, parent involvement in RTI, and RTI for secondary ELLs.

This book addresses the issues faced in teaching science to English learners (ELs) at each grade-level. SIOP techniques and activities organized around the eight SIOP components guide educators in promoting academic language development along with comprehensible scientific content.
