10. There are three aspects of student
engagement that should be
considered.
1. Allocated time
2. Engaged Time
3. Academic Learning Time
SIOP Feature 25
11. Allocated Time
Allocated time reflects the decisions
teachers make regarding the amount of
time to spend studying a topic or doing a
particular academic task or lesson.
SIOP Feature 25
12. Engaged Time
Engaged time refers to the percentage of
allocated time students are actively
participating in instruction during the
lesson. (Actual time-on-task).
The engaged time-on-task research has
consistently concluded that the more
actively students participate in the
instructional process, the more they
achieve.
SIOP Feature 25
13. Academic Learning Time
Academic Learning Time focuses on
students’ time-on-task, when the task is
related to the materials they will be tested
on.
Creative, fun activities are only effective if
they are directly related to the Content
and Language objectives of the lesson.
SIOP Feature 25
14. Feature 26:
Pacing of the Lesson Appropriate to
Students’ Ability Levels
SIOP Feature 26
15. Pacing
Rate at which information is presented
during lesson
Pace depends on content and level of
students’ background knowledge
Routines can help with pacing
Collecting Homework/distributing materials
often take up valuable instructional time
Maximize your time, every minute counts!
SIOP Feature 26
16. Pacing
Appropriate pace is critical for ELLs
A suitable pace for native speakers may
render information meaningless to
beginning English speakers.
In order to accommodate ELLs, instructors
must adjust pace of lesson.
SIOP Feature 26
17. A skillful SIOP teacher is able to monitor
and adjust pacing during a lesson.
Students’ disengagement may be due to
material that is presented too quickly (or
too slowly) and/or lack of focus for the
lesson.
SIOP Feature 26
18. What should lesson delivery
look like in the classroom?
Content and language objectives clearly
supported by lessons
Students must understand the expectations of
the lesson
Students engaged 90% - 100% of the time
Pacing of the lesson is appropriate to
students’ ability level
SIOP Features 23-26
19. What should lesson delivery
look like in the classroom?
Have objectives in writing
Read aloud the content and language
objectives
Encourage small groups
Vary your activities
Use class time to the fullest
Give multiple opportunities for students to
meet objectives
SIOP Features 23-26
20. Why does lesson delivery
matter?
Mastery of content and language
objectives by all students, including
English Language Learners, is the
intended goal of a well-designed SIOP
lesson.
If both teachers and students stay
focused on the objectives throughout a
lesson, the objectives are more likely to be
met.
SIOP Features 23-26
21. SUMMARY:

teachers need to plan to
use the entire class period efficiently, teach
in ways that engage students, and make
sure students are engaged in activities that
specifically relate to the material on which
they will be assessed.
