Discuss the eight components of STOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) with your mentor teacher. Include the following questions in your discussion:
• What are the English language proficiency levels of the ELL students in your classroom and what other student background information do you take into consideration when preparing lessons? • How do you determine appropriate content and language objectives? How do you ensure students are not only aware of the objectives, but that your lesson has supported them? • What are 3-4 strategies you regularly use to support English language learners? • At least two additional questions of your own to ask your mentor teacher.
