Abstract
In this study, the researcher examined the perceptions of 21 online teachers and an assistant principal from a charter school in the southwestern region of the United States regarding the implementation of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model in their online classrooms. The effectiveness of the online SIOP training was investigated, specifically focusing on the teachers’ reactions to the training and their application of the new knowledge and skills upon completion of the training. A semi-structured online interview using a cloud-based conferencing tool was conducted with each participant.
