1. Review & AssessmentSIOP Component #8

2. Musical Share ? We will begin by asking you to reflect on a question. We will turn on some music and you will walk around the room, pondering your answer to the question. When the music stops, you will discuss your answer with a person who is standing near to you. ?... I think…

5. Sheltered Instructional Observation ProtocolS.I.O.P. – 8 Components, 30 Features • Lesson Preparation • Building Background • Comprehensible Input • Strategies • Interaction • Practice/Application • Lesson Delivery • Review/Assessment

6. Assessment is the gathering and synthesizing of information concerning students’ learning. As teachers gather information about what students understand or do not understand, they can adjust their instructional plan accordingly. (p176 Elem SIOP)

7. The Features of Review & Assessment • Feature #27: Comprehensive Review of Key Vocabulary • Feature #28: Comprehensive Review of Key Content Concepts • Feature #29: Regular Feedback Provided to Students on Their Output • Feature #30: Assessment of Student Comprehension and Learning of All Lesson Objectives Throughout the Lesson Chapter 9, #1

8. Effective Teaching Cycle for English Learners (p177 Elem SIOP)

9. TPR #27 & #28: Comprehensive Review of Key Vocabulary and Key Concepts • ELs receive 20 -30 minutes, and in upper grades, perhaps 45 minutes of input in a new language. Unless the teacher takes the time to highlight and review key information and explicitly indicate what students should focus on and learn, English learners may not know what is important. • Students, especially those at the early stages of English proficiency, devote considerable energy to figuring out what the teacher is saying or the text is telling them at a basic level. They are much less able to evaluate which pieces of information among all the input they receive are important to remember. This is why the teacher MUST take the time to review and summarize key vocabulary and concepts throughout the lesson and as a wrap-up at the end. (p.176 Elem. SIOP)

10. #27 : Comprehensive Review of Key Vocabulary • The more exposures students have to new words, especially if the vocabulary is reinforced through multiple modalities (reading, writing, listening and speaking), the more likely they are to remember and use them. • REMEMBER • Research findings clearly state that… • Isolated word lists and dictionary definitions alone DO NOT promote vocabulary and language development • Students DO NOT learn vocabulary words when teachers just only orally introduce and define them. p. 177 Elem. SIOP

11. Ways to Review Key Vocabulary • Individual Word Study Books

12. Ways to Review Key Vocabulary • Helping students review words in nonprint ways is beneficial as well. (TPR!!!!) • Charades • Pictionary • Flyswatter game • Jeopardy • I Have….Who Has • Password

13. #28: Comprehensive Review of Key Concepts • Understandings are scaffolded when you stop and briefly summarize, along with students’ help, the key content covered up to that point. • This type of review is usually informal but it must be carefully planned. Here is an example….. In a lesson on Egyptian mummification, you might say something like the following: “Up to this point, we learned that little was known about Mummy No. 1770 until it was donated to the museum. After the scientists completed the autopsy, they discovered three important things. Who remembers what they were?” p. 178 Elem. SIOP

14. Outcome Sentences • A favorite wrap-up technique for many SIOP teachers is the use of outcome sentences. A teacher can post sentence starters on the board or on a transparency: • I wonder… • I learned… • I still want to know… • I discovered… • I will ask a friend about… •I still don’t know... • I still have a question about… p. 178 – 179 Elem. SIOP

15. Comprehensive Review of Key Concepts • It is important to link the review to content objectives so that you and the children stay focused on the essential content concepts. • Students’ responses to review should guide your decisions about what to do next, such as summative evaluation or, if needed, additional reteaching and assessing. p.179 Elem. SIOP Turn and Talk

16. TPR # 29 – Providing Regular Feedback • Periodic review of language, vocabulary, and content enables teachers to provide specific academic feedback to children that clarifies and corrects misconceptions and misunderstandings. • Feedback also helps students’ proficiency in English when it is supportive and validating. p. 179 Elem SIOP

17. TPR #30 – Assessment of Student Comprehension and Learning of All Lesson Objectives Throughout the Lesson • Assessment occurs throughout the lesson, as evidenced in lesson plans and in periodic review to determine if students are understanding and applying content concepts. Assessment must be linked to the instruction, and it needs to target the lesson objectives. • Assessment occurs throughout a lesson and is informal, authentic multidimensional, and includes multiple indicators that reflect student learning. • Assessment is defined as “the gathering and synthesizing of information concerning student learning, while evaluation is defined as making judgments about student learning. p. 180 Elem SIOP

18. Group Response Activities • Thumbs up/Thumbs down • For older kids “pencils up/pencils down.” • Number Wheels • Response Boards • Number 1 to 3 for self-assessment (quick check-in) • Stock Market

19. Possible Assessment Adaptations for English Learners • Range: Adapt the number of items that must be completed • Time: Allowing them to have more time to process and complete the task. • Level of Support: Adapt the amount of scaffolding provided for an EL. Provide further explanation of the task required of them and/or read test items aloud. • Difficulty: Adapt the skill level, type of problem or task, and the process for how an EL can approach the task. • Product: Adapt the type of response the EL is allowed to provide. • Participation: Adapt the degree of active involvement of an EL in assessment.

20. Chunk and Chew •Write 2 – 3 sentences reflecting on your current use of assessment in your classroom and elaborate on how today’s presentation has affirmed or changed you thinking.
