This week we continue to focus on student engagement, specifically on Opportunities to Respond. As you might recall, Ed-Direction shared their toolkit with us and this week's highlight is Written (see chart below). I am also sharing Ed-Direction's 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 Written strategy and apply it to one of your lessons.

Congratulations Sara Benavides, Milla Bocanegra, Brandon Gonzales, Emma Pezeshki, Serena Quinones, Eleazar Vasquez, and Karina Zuniga! We are so proud to call you #Scorpions! Thank you Rio Hondo ISD teachers, counselors, and administration for the great support you are providing our youth. #ScorpionStrong #GoBobcats #TSCclassof2023
