Overview

Opportunities to Respond: Implementing Engaging Lessons

Free! Webinar Wednesday. Boost student engagement and learning retention across all grade levels with practical, low-prep response techniques.

Course description

Professional Development hours: 1

Boost student engagement and learning retention across all grade levels! High rates of Opportunities to Respond (OTRs) keep students actively involved, increase academic achievement, and decrease challenging classroom behaviors. This webinar focuses on the core concepts and values of OTRs and provides an overview of practical, low-prep verbal, written, and gestural response techniques. You will learn how to seamlessly incorporate these active participation strategies into whole-group and small-group literacy instruction. While a recording will be provided afterward, we encourage you to join live to participate in the conversation and Q&A.
