Opportunities to Respond (OTR)
Teaching strategies that increase
opportunities for students to respond to
academic tasks will increase active
participation, which will:
• Maximize Student Engagement

•
•
•
•
•

•
Verbalizing replies

Research
One effective teaching practice that has
been suggested to help ameliorate
students' academic deficits, in addition to
promoting appropriate classroom
behaviors, is giving students frequent
opportunities to actively respond to
academic requests.
e.g., Deno, 1998; Gunter & Denny, 1998; Sutherland
& Wehby, 2001b; Wehby et al., 1998.
Research
Results from intervention research suggest
. . . . a teacher-centered strategy to both
increase appropriate student behavior and
decrease inappropriate behavior is to
provide increased opportunities for
students to respond correctly to
instructional questions, tasks, and
commands.
