__There are 8 components of the SIOP model:__ 1. Preparation - Students need to be prepared for learning by being able to communicate when they need help.

2. Building Background - Teachers can build background connections for students through the use of prior learning by teaching key vocabulary and connecting it to something the student already knows.

3. Comprehensible Input - Teachers should make assignments clear by using terminology that students can understand and by providing instructional experiences.

4. Strategies - Students can benefit from knowing specific learning strategies to use that increase comprehension.

5. Interactions - student to teachers and teacher to student interactions

6. Lesson Delivery - lesson clearly states both the content and language standard and accommodates the pace of the learner

7. Practice and Application - Students need hands-on materials and opportunities to apply concepts through the use of writing, speaking, and listening.

8. Review & Assessment - comprehensive review of vocabulary, key content concepts, and language standards to demonstrate mastery.
