SIOP is the only empirically-validated model of sheltered instruction.Do you have multilingual learners in your school or classroom? Students with disabilities? Students who have been historically disenfranchised? Students who may need extra support with content concepts and skills? SIOP components and features can benefit all of these learners.This virtual SIOP Training is divided into 9 modules: 3 are synchronous (live) and 6 are asynchronous (at your own pace). This training incorporates a wide variety of technology tools into the SIOP model to support learning for ALL learners. Participants will have two weeks to complete all modules.**All sessions and asynchronous work must be attended and completed to receive SCECHs**

Each space is designed to support teams that have either initiated their Peer-to-Peer (P2P) program or are preparing for its launch, having attended previous RESA P2P events. This collaborative 'make-and-take' event will equip teams with the tools needed to create materials such as brochures, Links presentations, and resource boxes, while also offering the chance to explore the curriculum, engage in discussions around the concepts of helping versus participation, and dive deeper into the playbook. This session is designed to give teams the tools, time, and support needed to strengthen their P2P initiatives or programs, while networking with colleagues from other districts.
