Improving Behavior and Impacting Learning through Opportunities to Respond Melissa Jones, PhD Dept. of Special Education Eastern Illinois University mljones2@eiu.edu

Shortly after science class started, the teacher announced, “We have a small block of ice and the same sized block of butter. Tell your neighbor which one would melt first.” A few seconds later the teacher said, “Please write down in one sentence, an explanation for your answer.” A few minutes later, the teacher told students to share with their neighbor what they had written. Shortly thereafter, the teacher called on one student to tell the class her answer. The teacher then asked the class to raise their hand if they agreed with this answer. Then the teacher asked students to give a thumbs down if anyone disagreed, and so on. (Colvin, 2009, p. 48)
3
Opportunities To Respond (OTR) O The number of times the teacher provides academic requests that require students to actively respond (Miller, 2009; Sprick, Knight, Reinke, & McKale, 2006) O A teacher behavior that prompts or solicits a student response (Simonsen et al., 2008)) O Result in positive behavioral and academic outcomes O Allows teacher insight
4
Related to Behavior O Increases student engagement with instruction O Allows for high rates of positive, specific feedback related to behavior O Limits time for engaging in inappropriate behavior O Results in more effective use of instructional time
5
Related to Academics O Can be used as a quick assessment to guide teaching/lesson direction O Provides teacher information on student understanding/thought process O Allows teacher to correct errors in knowledge/understanding O Evidence of gains in Reading and Math (e.g. mastery, rate, etc.)
6
Easy as ABC A Antecedent B Behavior C Consequence Teacher Provides: Question, Prompt, Cue Student Response or Behavior Teacher Provides Feedback (Specific & Positive)
7
Rate of OTR O New Material O 4-6 Responses per minute O 80% accuracy O Practice O 9-12 Student responses per minute O 90% accuracy
8
Types of OTR O Verbal--Involves vocal output vs. O Non-Verbal--Involves action (no verbalizations) O Individual—by oneself vs. O Group—with others or while others do it
9
OTR Verbal Non-Verbal O Orally answering a question, sharing thoughts, summarizing, repeating, O Writing O Performing an action O Moving about room
10
Verbal OTR O Individual Question/Response Pattern O Choral Responding
11
Consider Effective Questioning Reason/Purpose O Level O Know O Understand O Do O Type O Right/Wrong O Opinion O Kind O Open or Closed
12
Wait Time O Typical:??? O Optimal: 3-5 seconds O Rationale/Advantages O “Think Time” is preferred
13
High Quality Feedback O Timely O Specific O Related to Response O Targeted O Informative
14
Non-Verbal OTR O Response Cards/Response Systems O Pre-printed, Write-on, Cover part O Movement Activities/Signaling O Sit/Stand, Thumbs Up/Down, Other Action, 4 Corners O Guided Notes O http://rti2.org/rti2/guided_notes http://rti2.org/rti2/guided_notes O http://www.interventioncentral.org/index.php/study-org/221- guided-notes http://www.interventioncentral.org/index.php/study-org/221- guided-notes O http://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/hiat/tech_quick_gu ides/Word_Guided_Notes.pdf http://montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/hiat/tech_quick_gu ides/Word_Guided_Notes.pdf O Computer Assisted Instruction
15
Steps for Response Cards 1. Question 2. Think 3. Decide answer 4. Wait 5. Cue to show 6. Hold up card 7. Put down card 8. Prepare for next question

22
Individual vs. Group OTR Individual O Allows teacher to know what EACH student thinks; targeted Group O Provides ALL students the opportunity to answer without “risk”; engages everyone
23
Other Practices that INCREASE OTR O Cooperative Learning O Explicit/Direct Instruction O Track Who is Called On O Know Your Students O Vary Your Approach/Promote Generalization
24
Cooperative Learning (Kagan) O http://w4.nkcsd.k12.mo.us/~kcofer/social_ cooperative_structures.htm http://w4.nkcsd.k12.mo.us/~kcofer/social_ cooperative_structures.htm O http://www.mainesupportnetwork.org/pdfs/ Singapore%20-%20Handout%20- %20Cooperative%20Learning%20- %20Structures.pdf http://www.mainesupportnetwork.org/pdfs/ Singapore%20-%20Handout%20- %20Cooperative%20Learning%20- %20Structures.pdf O http://www.ntlf.com/html/lib/faq/cl- utenn.htm http://www.ntlf.com/html/lib/faq/cl- utenn.htm
25
Explicit Instruction (Sequence) “I do, We do, You do” 1. Model 2. Check for Understanding 3. Practice (with faded support) 4. Feedback throughout
26
Track who is called on… O Seating chart O Draw names from a jar O Popsicle Sticks O Answer coins O PLAN IT!
27
Other Practices that INCREASE OTR O Cooperative Learning O Explicit/Direct Instruction O Track Who is Called On O Know Your Students O Vary Your Approach/Promote Generalization
28
For Monday… O Think about what you have heard today. Is there anything that you can use? O What can be (easily) implemented into your own classroom/setting? O How will you use/do this? O What do you wish would have been included in the presentation or what do you wish there would have been more about?
