What is active student responding? • “Active Student Responding requires students to _________________________ in other ways that reveal understanding of ________in each step of the instruction.” Vargus 2009 (p. 189) • “Active responses are those that are___________ ____________and that include error correction responses as well (Barbetta, Heron, & Heward, 1993) • “Active student responding occurs each time a student makes a _________________________ _________” Heward 2009 answer questions or respond content observable and countable detectable response to ongoing instruction

  3. Active STUDENT RESPONSES • The basic measure of ASR is_____,_____, _________of responses • The more the student________, the more likely they will _____ • _______behavior is not the same as active student responding • Increasing on-task or _________behavior does not necessarily increase________ count tally frequency responds learn On task attending learning

  4. What’s so important about ASR? actually • When a student is attending, we do not know if they are ______ ________- the only way we know is if they make a ________to what they have_____________. • Children (particularly those with autism) must be involved in active learning involving consistent, repeated ______________ ________to stimuli and to respond, in turn, to the corresponding consequences Taylor, 2004, Green 1996. • Maximizes________________– number of responses versus time spent in an activity • More opportunities to respond and get_________, the ______ children will learn. learning response seen or heard opportunities to respond instructional time feedback faster

  5. Is this active student responding? • Reading out loud _____ • Whole body listening _____ • Doing math calculations _____ • Listening to a story _____ • Answering comprehension questions _____ • Watching a video _____ YES NO YES NO YES NO

  6. Benefits of ASR • More ________responding, improved _____ ______ • Faster acquisition of___________ • Increases _______behavior (Narayan et al 1990, Carnine 1976) • _________________behavior (Lambert, Carledge, Heward, and Lo 2006) accurate test scores information on task Reduces disruptive

  7. Types of ASR • _______responding • _________cards • Peer ________or peer ______ • ____________or fill-in sheets Choral Response tutoring pairs Guided notes

  8. Choral responding • An integral component of the _______________model • Particularly useful for _______material math facts states and capitals rules • Use ______________________ • Provide feedback for the ________response • ____________ pace of instruction • Part of the _______ Reading program – sound drills • Use in transitions – reciting _____ for walking in halls, etc. • Students typically enjoy this! Direct Instruction factual signal to begin and end majority Fast, lively Wilson rules

  9. More on choral responding

  15.
