Implementing Active Student Responding to Increase Formative Assessment and Inform Classroom Instruction - EDC-X773T

Course Description

Credit Validation for DoDEA Educators Only

Elementary, middle, and high school teachers will increase their knowledge of the instructional strategy referred to as Active Student Responses (ASRs). During the course, participants will engage in Professional Learning sessions to gain a better understanding of Active Student Responses, practice the strategy using low and high technologies, collect data, and inform/adjust instruction based on student responses. Teachers will implement the ASR strategy during the opening/closing of lessons using DoDEA’s instructional 20/60/20 model. Prior to the end of the course, participants will present the Professional Learning sessions to classmates to ensure their preparedness to train other educators with implementing ASRs. A course evaluation will also be completed.
