Increasing Student Engagement:
3 Evidence-based Instructional Strategies

Outcomes1. Participants will be able to
describe the impact of opportunities to respond on student outcomes
2. Participants will be able to implement effective strategies that actively engage learners in instruction
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)
Evidence-Based Practices
1. Maximize structure2. Post, teach, review, monitor, and reinforce a small number of positively stated expectations3. Active engagement4. Acknowledge appropriate behaviors5. Establish continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior

When I say “Class!,” you say “Yes!”
Class!Students answer, “Yes!”
However I say “Class!” that’s how you say “Yes!”
Class! Class!
Students answer, “Yes! Yes!”

Now, let’s learn about the Teach-Okay. Please have fun!
Class!
Students answer, “Yes!”

Students answer, “Okay!”
When I say “Teach!” you say “Okay!”
Teach!
Students clap twice and answer, “Okay!”
If I clap twice and say “Teach,” you clap twice and say “Okay!” Clap Clap

Students clap twice and answer, “Okay!”
Let’s try that again ... only faster!

Academic Learning Time is…
The time that students are directly engaged in meaningful activities
that are related to the curriculum sequence and have successful
outcomes.
Dr. Terry Scott talks about the Probability
Equation
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
Benefits of OTR O High rates of OTR can lead to
improved academic performance. This is a result of improved student engagement and effective instruction. Student

Academic Performance
Related to BehaviorO Increases student engagement with
instructionO Allows for high rates of positive,
specific feedback related to behaviorO Limits time for engaging in
inappropriate behaviorO Results in more effective use of
instructional time
Related to AcademicsO Can be used as a quick assessment
to guide teaching/lesson directionO Provides teacher information on
student understanding/thought process
O Allows teacher to correct errors in knowledge/understanding

If I clap twice and say “Teach,” you clap twice and say “Okay!” Then turn to your neighbors and teach them about opportunities to respond! Remember to use your gestures!

OChoral Responding
Individual vs. Group OTR
IndividualO Allows teacher to
know what EACH student thinks; targeted
GroupO Provides ALL
students the opportunity to answer without “risk”; engages everyone
Elements of choral responding
Students must be able to:o respond with short, one to three word, answers, and oonly one correct answer is ideal.
Enhancing Effectiveness of Choral
Respondingo the teacher, providing a thinking
pause, ousing a clear signal of when to
respond, oprovide feedback, and o from time to time call on
individual students
How To Implement Choral Responding - Brief “Choral
Responding”1. Model the question and the way to respond2. Ask a clear question with a single word or
simple phrase answer3. Give a clear signal for students to respond
(allow think time for difficult responses)4. Scan all mouths to assure all are responding,
moving near non-responders5. Give feedback on the group response6. Fast-pace

O Computer Assisted Instruction
Guided Notes
Lecture outlines with spaces where students write definitions, facts, and/or concepts during instruction
Why Use Guided Notes?
Guided Notes increase students’ active engagement with course content.
OTo complete their Guided Notes, students must actively respond to the lecture’s content by listening, looking, thinking, and writing.
Why Use Guided Notes?
Students who make frequent, lesson-relevant responses learn more than students who are passive observers.
Why Use Guided Notes?
O Students can more easily identify the most important information.
O Students are more likely to ask the instructor questions.
O Students earn higher quiz and exam scores with Guided Notes.
Why Use Guided Notes?
O Guided Notes can serve as an advance organizer for students.
O Guided Notes help teachers prioritize and limit lecture content.
O Guided Notes content can be easily converted into formative and summative assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Guided
NotesQ: Isn’t providing students with guided notes making it too easy for them? Are we just “spoon-feeding” them the information?
Q: Why not just pass out an outline of my lecture or a copy of the guided notes already completed?

Response Card
A response card requires a student to write a brief answer to a question.
Response CardO Can be used throughout your entire
lesson.
O Each response is meant to be QUICK!
O Can be used as a formative assessment.
O Can invite individual oral response, pair share &/or Table Talk
Response CardoElicit active responses from
all students simultaneously;oDemonstrate student
understanding of the information taught; and
oMake informed instructional decisions based on students responses.
Procedures for Response Cards
1. Train students in the use of their response cards.O “Jot Down Your Answers” – Students write their answers.O “Cards Up” – Students raise response cards above their
heads, facing teacher.O “Cards Down” – Students place response cards face
down.2. After new material has been introduced
O write their responses on their cards.3. prompt students as a class to hold their response cards above their heads.4. Provide praise and/or corrective feedback for student responses.
O Use Positive Responding – If all answers are correct, provide praise to the class. If some answers are correct, praise the correct response.
5. Interchange questions that are review with questions that relate to new material.
ExamplesO“Yes/True” on one side and
“No/False” on the other OA, B, C, D cards for multiple
choice questions OCards with subject-specific
terms (parts of speech, scientific classifications, historical periods, formulas, etc.)

OSocrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational exercises and games via smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
Response Card
After watching the video…
Which multiple response strategy would you use to foster student engagement and why?
Consider this …If response cards were used instead of handraising for just 30 minutes per day, each student would make more than 3,700 additional academic responses during the school year.
Response Card
Let’s Make and Take
Opportunities to Respond
What it is…ALL students are doing, answering, speaking, writing, signaling, performing… showing in some way that they have interacted with the instruction.Teacher Prompts:
O Think about…Tell your partnerO Everyone, say the wordO Everyone write, then showO Tell your partner how many steps there are in…O You just heard a lot of information. Think about
the three main elements. Tell your partner why these elements are important to…
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?
“In the end, which of these active participation or passage-reading procedures you select is less important than offering a large number of opportunities to respond and keeping ALL students involved. To be truly effective, instruction must be interactive. This constant involvement not only improves learning, but also reduces management problems and makes instruction more enjoyable for both the students and the teacher.” Archer and Hughes (2011) p. 172.
