We all learn by doing. By increasing opportunities for students to respond during a lesson, teachers increase engagement and achievement.
Learning Intentions
- Develop a plan to increase student engagement through opportunities to respond at the classroom, school and division level.
- Describe how OTRs create a more equitable classroom and improve student achievement.
Rationale
“When scaffolding, teachers typically provide high levels of initial guidance and then systematically reduce support as students respond with greater accuracy.”

Rationale
With the strategic use of scaffolding, teachers can promote success for students at different levels of readiness.
