Mod 13 Discussion: SIOP discussion

The SIOP model is specifically designed to help teachers support students whose first language may not be English. It recognizes the diverse linguistic backgrounds of students and integrates strategies that are effective for ELLs while also respecting and valuing their cultural perspectives.

 SIOP provides scaffolding techniques like visual aids, hands-on activities, and peer support to bridge the language gap, making the content more accessible to students from various cultural backgrounds.
