This week and in the weeks to come, we will focus on student engagement, specifically on Opportunities to Respond. On their last visit, Ed-Direction shared their toolkit with us and we will be highlighting it. This week's highlight is Non-verbal Demonstrations (see chart below). I am also sharing their intro to Opportunities to Respond.

Why: Opportunities to Respond increases student engagement by offering multiple opportunities for students to read, write, demonstrate, speak, and listen during classroom instruction.

Background: Opportunities to Respond, also referred to as Active Student Response, is a strategy that prompts students to make their learning seen and heard. This strategy requires strategic lesson planning that breaks down learning tasks for students, designed to:

• enhance student engagement and participation by offering multiple opportunities to read, write, demonstrate, speak, and actively listen during classroom instruction,
• increase the frequency of accurate and actionable feedback about levels of learning, and
• promote a deeper understanding of rigorous content.

This week's challenge is to choose one Non-verbal Demonstration and apply it to one of your lessons.
