1 Improve the Academic Achievement of English Learners 3 Ways Pearson Professional Development can help your district close the achievement gap for English learners Implement a scientifically validated framework for teaching both academic content and language skills in ways that are proven to be more effective for ELs. Understand specific considerations for ELs in the RtI process. Make the most of the research-based EL resources that are embedded in your Pearson curriculum. Results Snapshot: The SIOP Model Brockton High School, MA Between 2003 and 2009, Brockton High School dramatically increased the percentage of ELL students passing the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). Because of this success, The Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy profiled the Bilingual Program at Brockton High School as the most effective ELL program among urban high schools in the state of Massachusetts. Brockton school leaders cite the adoption and training of all teachers in the SIOP Model as one of the key factors in its success. Percentage of Brockton HS ELL Students Passing MCAS ELA a 255% increase Math a 158% increase Why does SIOP work for Brockton? It gives ALL of our teachers, our ESL teachers and our general education teachers, a structured and reliable format that can be implemented in their classrooms, and it increases the achievement of all of our students, particularly our ELLs. Sue Szachowicz Principal, Brockton High School 16

10 Data Collection: ediagnostic This ten-minute online survey measures educators perceptions of professional development (PD) needs, including impact of current initiatives, impact of previous PD, and measures of current instructional practices. Findings from the survey can be used to determine next steps with SIOP PD. Educators, Coaches, School Leaders, District Administrators Unlimited Data Collection: Pre Post Surveys These twenty-minute online surveys measure educators perceptions of instructional practices, content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and effectiveness of the professional development (PD). Findings from the surveys can be used to gauge the effectiveness of SIOP PD and to guide follow-up PD. Educators, Coaches 120 survey participants Data Collection: Classroom Observations Pearson consultants conduct fifteen-minute classroom observations in a school or across multiple schools. Data collected is analyzed and a report is provided on the implementation fidelity of SIOP. K 12 Classrooms Maximum of 6 classrooms observed per day SIOP Diagnostic and Research Services Data Analysis: Classroom Observations Pearson sets up a data-collection portal for school and/or district observers to enter SIOP classroom observations. Pearson analyzes SIOP classroom observation data to determine the fidelity of implementation of professional development. Data Analysis: Student Outcomes The school and/or district provides student outcome data such as achievement, attendance, discipline, and so forth. Pearson analyzes student outcome data in conjunction with school- and/or districtcollected SIOP classroom observation data to determine the degree to which high implementers of SIOP impact student outcomes. Capacity Building: SIOP Inter-rater Reliability Participants learn how to use the SIOP protocol to gauge the level of implementation with the SIOP Model. The goal of the two-day training is for participants to calibrate their SIOP protocol ratings with a SIOP expert as a means of establishing acceptable levels of inter-rater reliability. Once inter-rater reliability is established, participants can know with confidence that classroom observations collected with the SIOP protocol are valid and reliable. OUTCOMES: By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: Become familiar with the SIOP protocol observation process.
