SIOP binders for the win this year! I created one pagers for each component and their titles pages to the binder tabs! They’ve been a hit so far! Shout out to Crystal Meiller for the idea! #bettertogether

One of the ESOL teachers shared this photo and many other ESOL teachers relate. In fact, many of them said it’s lucky to even have a storage room as a classroom for them. How is it equitable? Emergent bilingual students and their teachers need to be respected and valued.

The remaining The SIOP® Model components and features as binder divider title pages here! It’s my hope that we just don’t use these for summer institute, but we’ll add to development throughout the year!
