The SIOP may be used as part of a program for preservice and inservice professional development, as a lesson planner for sheltered content lessons, as a training resource for faculty, and as an observation and evaluation measure for site-based administrators and researchers who evaluate teachers.
Finally, the SIOP is a tool for researchers for determining the extent to which sheltered instruction is implemented in a given classroom and helps to maintain fidelity of implementation.
The SIOP is utilized both as an observation instrument for researchers and teachers to match the implementation of lesson delivery to the model of instruction and as a tool for teachers to plan and deliver lessons.

 the nuclear information project: changing the siop name
The last SIOP to carry that name was SIOP-03 Change 3, which entered into effect in October 2002.
A background paper further explained that changes in security challenges, targets base and weapons inventory meant that the SIOP was "evolving into a more flexible, situation specific, ‘family of plans’ with an increasing emphasis on adaptive planning" (the background paper is available in the right-hand bar).
In January 2003, STRATCOM again asked for the name to be changed to reflect that "USSTRATCOM is changing the nation's nuclear war plan from a single, large, integrated plan to a family of plans applicable in a wider range of scenarios." The new name should be called OPLAN 8044.
