8. Opportunities to Respond (OTR) Teaching strategies that increase opportunities for students to respond to academic tasks will increase active participation, which will: Maximize Student Engagement Minimize Behavior Problems

9. Responses and Active Participation can be: Verbalizing replies Posting replies Voting Completing Individual Tasks Contributing to Group Product Discussing with Peers Recording Ideas or Presentations

10. Research One effective teaching practice that has been suggested to help ameliorate students' academic deficits, in addition to promoting appropriate classroom behaviors, is giving students frequent opportunities to actively respond to academic requests. e.g., Deno, 1998; Gunter & Denny, 1998; Sutherland & Wehby, 2001b; Wehby et al., 1998.

11. Research Results from intervention research suggest.... a teacher-centered strategy to both increase appropriate student behavior and decrease inappropriate behavior is to provide increased opportunities for students to respond correctly to instructional questions, tasks, and commands. Lewis, T. J., Hudson, S., Richter, M., & Johnson, N. (2004). Behavioral Disorders, 29, 247–259.

HISD Becoming #GreatAllOver Co- labor -ative  Guide the interaction without necessarily controlling it  Co-construct solutions and material  Co-develop a lesson or curriculum unit  Problem solve issues of practice  Analyze examples of student work together  Co-observe another teacher; debrief together

20. HISD Becoming #GreatAllOver Instructive Direct the interaction based on assessed needs Provide information about teaching or procedures Offer suggestions and solutions with rationale  Model an instructional strategy  Offer a menu of ways to differentiate instruction  Share a process for analyzing student work  Reference current research

21. Strategy Sort On a post-it note, write an I. On another, write a C. On another write an F. Place in the center of your group. Divide the statement cards or strips found in the envelope among the participants in your group. Read each statement aloud to the group and discuss whether the strategy is more likely instructive, collaborative, or facilitative. Place the card under the appropriate strategy.
