Lesson Plans: CREATE Project Lesson Materials

Description

lesson plans CREATEThese content area lesson plans were created by the Center for Research on the Educational Achievement and Teaching of English Language Learners (CREATE Center). CREATE researchers developed curriculum to build the language and literacy skills of English learners in the middle grades while simultaneously instructing grade-level content concepts. Lesson plans and materials integrate instructional features of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP Model) including language objectives, explicit vocabulary instruction, student interaction, building background knowledge, and comprehensible input.
