OTR isn’t just for whole-class engagement - it’s a practical way to help individual students stay on-task and participate, even if they struggle with behavior. These are low-stakes responses, not quizzes for the “right” answer. Gestures, quick signals, writing, or short partner discussions all work. Use OTR in whole-class lessons or small groups and with specific students more prone to disruptive behavior. Focus on engagement, and positive behavior will naturally follow.
