"I'll never teach the old way again."-Teacher, Little Rock School District "SIOP®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®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®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®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®, teachers learn to write language objectives to match content regardless of the curriculum area."- Dr. Karen Broadnax, Director ESL/Multilingual Services
