This article focuses on a sheltered content basis for instruction, whereby content area curriculum and language learning are taught simultaneously. Effectiveness and challenges of sheltered content instruction is discussed, and Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) is suggested asa framework for high quality teaching. With the support of a strong administrative team, trained teachers of SIOP, and collaboration among a school team, SIOP can serve as an effective tool for teaching ELLs.  \nIn 2018-2019, Canada welcomed 313, 580 immigrants, one of its highest numbers in history (Statistics Canada, 2019) . By the year 2020, Canada’s high projection for newcomers including immigrants, federal nominees, family reunification, and refugees is 360,000 (Government of Canada, 2019) . With the continued influx of newcomers, schools are faced with challenges for appropriate programming for English language learners (ELLs) . In an attempt to address the diverse needs of ELLs, public schools are advocating sheltered content instruction (Figueroa-Murphy et al. , 2016) . Sheltered content programming can be an appropriate method of instruction; however, if poorly designed and implemented, it can result in wide achievement gaps and academically ill prepared students (Calderon et al. , 2011) . In order for sheltered content instruction to be effective, teachers and administrators need to understand its purpose, possess knowledge of language acquisition methodologies, and receive appropriate training and professional development. The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) is the only empirically validated approach to sheltered instruction and learning intervention (Short, 2013) . With rigorous teacher professional development, SIOP can support ELLs who are developing their academic language and knowledge of core subject curriculum (Echevarria & Short, 2011) . When implemented to a high degree, SIOP can serve as an effective school-wide intervention.  \nTeachers and administrators must have clear understanding of sheltered instruction implementation. In sheltered content classes, core academic subjects such as science, mathematics, history, and English language arts are taught to ELLs through the integration of language development. The purpose is to make content comprehensible for students while developing academic English proficiency through access to the core curriculum (Echevarria et al. , 2017) . Sheltered content area instruction can be an effective program for students, but teachers must understand that it is not watered down curriculum and target outcomes must beat appropriate grade level (Kareva & Echevarria, 2013) . In addition, instruction must promote the development of academic language, be cognitively challenging, and provide access to academic content (Cummins, 1999) . Students must also receive daily opportunities to engage in grade-level curriculum that supports the development of academic language and meets curricular outcomes simultaneously. In many sheltered content classrooms, instruction is solely language focused. When this occurs, teachers limit instructional rigor and academic expectations (Callahan & Shifrer, 2016) and the result is academically ill prepared students in areas of academic reading, writing, listening, and speaking (Short, 2013) . In addition to sheltered content instruction knowledge, teachers and administrators need to possess an understanding of second language acquisition methodologies.  \nLanguage acquisition plays a significant role in considering programming needs for ELLs. Many educators have not received proper training or professional development in understanding the processes of ","cbCaiozHOv8zqxnS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiozHOv8zqxnS","pdf",87281,"English","# Abstract\n## Sheltered content instruction and its rationale\n## SIOP as a framework for implementation\n## Purpose, outcomes, and instructional design\n## Language acquisition: BICS vs. CALP\n## Training needs for teachers and administrators","[{\"question\":\"What is sheltered content instruction for ELLs?\",\"answer\":\"Sheltered content instruction teaches content-area curriculum and language learning simultaneously.
