Product Description
This two-book set provides even more application for the SIOP model and invaluable background resources for your diverse classroom. Making Content Comprehensible for English Learners provides the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model, which provides school administrators, staff developers and teachers with a tool for observing and quantifying a teacher's implementation of quality sheltered instruction. Making Content Comprehensible presents a coherent, specific, field-tested model of sheltered instruction that specifies the features of a high-quality sheltered lesson that teaches content material to English learners. Each of the 30 items from the SIOP model are illustrated through vignettes. Three different lessons for each item are rated and discussed, allowing the book to be applied to a variety of content areas and grade levels. The Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Handbook, Second Edition is a comprehensive handbook that brings together theories, ideas, and resources for promoting crosscultural awareness, language development, and academic progress. It provides you with practical, effective resources to help your students succeed in school.

Reviews


Same book used with prep course!!
This book (3rd Ed.) was my only source to pass all 3 CTEL sections the first time (whew)!! I combined it with the outline given at the CTEL website under "study guide". Basically, I used it to answer the study guide questions from the website.

I knew this book was the bomb when a guy who had taken a $1000. prep course and who sat behind me during the test in Daly City said his instructor taught out of the same book.

I only started skimming the book a week before the exam, BUT I did answer the study guide questions several days before the exam then I crammed.
The material is very logical, but details are a necessity for the 3 essay questions. Good luck!!

Reviewing for CTEL exams...
maybe the only book out there for reviewing for the CTel/CLAD exams. Not organized for easy organized learning but not too bad. I haven't heard the results of the exams yet...

Glad I bought this before taking the CTEL exam
I just took the CTEL exam today, and I sure am glad that I didn't take it before reading this book. Most of the information over which we were tested was explained in the book. Along with the flashcards, I think this is a wise investment.

CTEL Study Guide
This book seriously saved my life while I was studying for the CTEL. I read it from cover to cover in a week. All of the information was useful and helped me pass the test!

CTEL
It helped me pass the CA CTEL test on the first try. I read no other book, this did it for me.
