This virtual institute is a cost-effective and schedule-friendly way to build educators’ SIOP® knowledge and expand implementation in schools or districts. Participants learn the SIOP® Model through live, expert-led sessions; access to the eText Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners: The SIOP® Model; classroom lessons on video; SIOP® author discussions on video; and a live author Q&A.
