Abstract

This mixed-methods research study examines the impact of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) on the academic achievement and confidence of recently exited English as a Second Language (ESL) students in a sixth grade science classroom. The study utilized quantitative data from pre-assessments, progress monitoring checks, post-assessments and a student survey. The study utilized qualitative data from the researcher’s observations and participant work samples. Despite limitations of the study, findings suggest that implementing the SIOP framework into the mainstream classroom improves academic success and student confidence.
