“Whoever does the talking, does the learning” Teacher: Gives prompt Students: Respond Gives feedback “Whoever does the talking, does the learning” Check this quote and site it

Let’s count the OTRs in this famous teaching clip What are OTRs? “Teacher-directed opportunities to respond that occasion student responses.” MacSuga-Gage “An instructional question, statement, or gesture made by the teacher that seeks a student response. “ (Reinke, Herman, Sprick 2011, p. 91) Let’s count the OTRs in this famous teaching clip

What are CARs? CAR = Correct Academic Responses OTRs are ineffective if you are not eliciting and supporting Correct Academic Responses OTR Verbal or Non-verbal Response Positive or Corrective Feedback How would you feel if you are getting mostly correct answers? How would you feel if you were getting everything wrong? --leads to learned helplessness, fixed mindset How would you feel if you never got called on? How would you feel if you are getting everything correct?

Why OTRs: Neuroscience Get those neurological pathways correct the first time! Dispersed rehearsal (DOK 1, 2) v.s Depth of processing (DOK 3) Making meaning and going deeper requires automaticity of some knowledge, procedures, and concepts. Link to CARs again-- Make the link to efficacy--growth mindset/ Safe, positive, nurturing environment leads to openness, as opposed to closed--approach/avoidance

Why OTRs: Behavior Research Engagement: Inverse relationship between OTRs and discipline problems Human Motivation Model Relationships Competence Autonomy

Why OTRs: Feedback Receive and Give Feedback From your students: -Random Sampling (popsicle sticks) -Choral responses To your students -Affirmation/Praise -Corrective Feedback

When to use them During focused instruction and guided instruction of a new topic and during review (bellwork, going over homework) limit to 10- 15 min) Review material that has a goal of automaticity/fluency (OTR: write down three things that you want your students to have with automaticity) New material: introducing a new concept

How to use them effectively: Students need a safe, positive, predictable, consistent, and nurturing environment for learning *Is your classroom a safe place for students to get the wrong answer? *How do you foster a growth mindset to keep them approaching math instead of avoiding it? Approach or Avoidance?

Verbal Written Gestural/Physical Teacher to Class Teacher to Individuals Teacher-directed student to student Teacher-directed student to self Verbal Choral Songs Secret words Signal Words No-options questioning-popsicle sticks Continuous ‘what’s next’ for procedural practice Kagan Strategies, ie.,Think, Pair, Share Turn and Talk Roles Quick responses Encouragement Sentence frames for arguing Sentence frames for vocab Encouragement (pat on the back) PVC phone Written Anticipatory T/F Agree/disagree Anticipatory T/F agree/disagree List 5 ___ Explain a procedure Draw a model Pairs check Guided Notes Gestural/Physical Thumbs up/down Fist to Five Point to ___ Get up and move Arm graphing *Don’t forget about remote responders!

How to Increase them: Planning Sheet Work in pairs to plan a mini- lesson (can be a review of “homework”)

Taking OTR/CAR data OTR Data Sheet--a 10 minute observation form

Practice Square your Pairs (groups of 4) Pair A: 1 will be Teacher, other Observer Pair B: both will be Students Then switch. (10 min per Lesson)

Wrap-Up What are your big take-aways? (30 seconds per person)
