Description¶

Recommendation 5 calls for frequent and varied opportunities to respond (OTR) during instruction, such as response cards and small-group formats. The introduction groups it with choice-making: these recommendations "provide opportunities for students to respond to and engage in learning activities." Table I.1 rates it minimal evidence, and the guide notes some reviewed studies involved materials such as "response cards to motivate student engagement."
