1. Allocated time

2. Engaged Time 3. Academic Learning Time

SIOP Feature 25

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

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.

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.
