"I'll never teach the old way again." -Teacher, Little Rock School District "SIOP (R) helps teachers plan and deliver quality instruction for all students. Bottom line, there is no other professional development that provides teachers with a complete model for instruction." -Dr. Katharine Garcia, Alief ISD, Houston, TX "We started SIOP (R) in 2003 and our state math proficiency went from 39% for our ELL sub group to 75%. In reading it went from 29% to 72%, so we attribute a lot of that to our SIOP (R) model." -Patricia Smiley, Director of Instruction, Emporia, Kansas "An effective teacher is effective whether they have a gifted child, an ELL child or an at risk child. So I do believe that the key is effective teachers and effective teachers come from effective training." -Diane Hart, K-12 Supervisor, Cobb County Georgia "I see SIOP (R) working for all kids. Its basic good practice, so I think it applies to all classrooms, all situations, small group, large group, everything." -Jane McCoy, Instructional Coach Emporia, Kansas "With SIOP (R), teachers learn to write language objectives to match content regardless of the curriculum area." - Dr. Karen Broadnax, Director ESL/Multilingual Services
