1. Frequent Responses:
Why? Contributes to a positive learning environment
- increases engagement- increases on-task behavior- increases accountability- promotes desired classroom behaviors- reduces inappropriate classroom behaviors- keeps class moving along
Check for understanding - allows the teacher to monitor understanding, adjust the lesson based on responses and provide feedback to students
![Page 5: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

1. Frequent Responses
Why?
Promotes learning
- provides rehearsal of information and concepts
- provides practice of skills and strategies
retrieve - respond - retain- focuses students’ attention on critical content

The teacher:2. Limited Use of Volunteers: Avoids calling on volunteers except when the response is based on personal experience.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 7: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

2. Limited Use of Volunteers
Why• If the teacher consistently asks a question and opens
it up to volunteers, the students who are high performing, assertive, and proficient in English are much more likely to volunteer and be called on.
• The result is that a small number of students participate.
• This practice “teaches the best and leaves the rest.”
![Page 8: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The teacher: 3. Proactive Handling of Inattentive Students: Avoids calling on inattentive students. Uses other methods to regain their attention such as: physical proximity to the inattentive student, re-directives ("Listening.") to the whole group, or tasks involving a physical behavior ("Highlight the first heading.")
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 9: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

3. Proactive Handling of Inattentive Students
Why?- There is little to gain by calling on inattentive students.
The students are unlikely to have a correct answer that adds to the richness of the class discourse.
- There are better options for regaining the student’s attention without interrupting the lesson such as: 1) moving closer to the student, 2) giving a directive to the entire group, or 3) requesting a quick physical behavior (eg., “Highlight the topic.”, “Put a heading on your paper.”)
![Page 10: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
The Teacher:4. Inclusive Participation: Uses practices that involve all students in responding, encouraging all students to formulate answers and to participate.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 11: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
4. Inclusive Participation
Why- When the teacher has all students say, write, or do
something, the students:- are more attentive- feel more accountable for participating- make more responses and - learn more
- The teacher also has more information to use in adjusting the lesson.
![Page 12: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
The teacher:5. Equity of Individual Turns: Calls on a variety of students using a preplanned system to randomize students
who are called on to promote equity.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 13: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
5. Equity of Individual Turns
Why?- When calling on individual students, the teacher is
likely to favor certain students.
- To ensure equity, the teacher needs a formal system for randomization such as 1) pulling a name stick out of a jar, 2) using a randomization app for selection of students, or 3) using two decks of playing cards, taping one to each deck and drawing from the other deck.
![Page 14: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The Teacher:6. Adequate Thinking Time: Provides adequate thinking time for responses.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 15: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
6. Adequate Thinking Time
Why?- If inadequate thinking time is presented, students are likely to
make errors. - If too much thinking time is given, students may fill the void with
inappropriate behavior.- Teachers can determine an appropriate amount of thinking time
by: - having students indicate adequate thinking time by putting
their thumbs up or by looking at the teacher- thinking through the answer as the students process the
answer- monitoring and circulating, judging completion of a task
![Page 16: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
The teacher:7. Monitoring Responses: Monitors student responses through focused listening and observing, circulating around the room when students are sharing with partners or teams, reading with partners, or
completing written responses. ____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 17: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
7. Monitoring Responses
• Why- When students are asked to respond, the teacher must
listen and observe carefully so that appropriate feedback can be given including correcting of any errors.
- When the students are writing at their desks, or discussing answers with partners or team members, the teacher MUST circulate around the room, listening and observing carefully.
- Teachers should:- Walk around.- Look around.- Talk around.
![Page 18: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
The Teacher:8. Error Corrections: Provides immediate, clear corrections for individual or group errors, telling students or guiding them to the correct answer.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 19: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Error Corrections
Why?- Correction of errors is a critical type of feedback in
which the teacher provides specific information designed to help students in performing the desired behavior.
- If the error is a factual error, the teacher can simply tell students the correct answer.
- However, if the error involves the application of a strategy, the teacher should guide the students to the correct response, step by step.
![Page 20: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
The teacher:9. Feedback and Acknowledgement: Provides specific feedback and positive affirmation for performance, focusing on achievement and effort rather than on inherent qualities.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 21: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
9. Feedback and Acknowledgement
Why When providing positive acknowledgement, it is important that the feedback is specific so that the student will be aware of what behaviors should be repeated in the future.
It is especially important that praise focus on effort and movement toward meeting standards (“Your introduction grabbed my attention and clearly stated your opinion.”) rather than on inherent qualities (“You are a brilliant writer.” “You are the best third grader that I have worked with.”)
![Page 22: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
The Teacher: 10. Lesson Adjustment: Adjusts the lesson based on student performance (e.g., Re-teaches challenging content. Provides additional practice. Moves
forward in lesson.)
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 23: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
10. Lesson Adjustment
• Why- The purpose of all teaching is learning. Thus, the
teacher must constantly monitor students’ responses, gaining information on learning and taking action to improve learning.
- Adjustments might include:- Moving forward in the lesson- Providing clarifying explanations- Providing additional modeling and guided practice- Providing additional practice items
![Page 24: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
The teacher: 11. Brisk Pace: Having prepared for the lesson, maintains a brisk instructional pace while providing adequate thinking time. Avoids digressions.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 25: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
11. Brisk Pace
Why?• A brisk pace that still provides adequate
thinking time is critical for a number of reasons:– Students will be more attentive– Because of attentiveness, students will make
fewer errors– More content will be covered– Management problems will be reduced
![Page 26: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
The teacher: 12. Positive Learning Environment: Promotes a positive learning environment, connecting with the learners and promoting student success. Utilizes positive procedures to encourage appropriate behavior.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 27: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
12. Positive Learning Environment
Why?
- Teachers can create a positive learning environment by:- Having positive interactions with students- Setting students up for success through careful
instruction, clear directives, the use of rules and routines
- Providing redirectives quietly and privately- Having an organized classroom
![Page 28: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
The teacher: 13. Enthusiasm: Displays a genuine interest in the content of the lesson and the learning of his/her students.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 29: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
13. Enthusiasm
Why
• Enthusiasm, passion for the content, will influence the students’ interest in the content, their attentiveness, curiosity, and motivation to learn the content.
![Page 30: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
The students: 14. On-task Behavior: Exhibit on-task behavior, following the teacher's directives and completing requested
tasks.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 31: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
14. On-task Behavior
Why?
- On-task behavior, doing what is requested in the moment, is directly related to learning. On-task behavior indicates that the student is cognitively present.
![Page 32: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
The Students: 15. Frequent Responses: Respond when asked to give verbal, written, or action responses.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 33: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
15. Frequent Responses
Why? • Learning is simply not a spectator sport.
• In order to gain and retain information, students must rehearse the information and perform the behaviors that have been introduced.
• The teacher must request responses and act as if responding if expected. For example, if numerous students do not respond, the teacher could repeat the response opportunity.
![Page 34: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
The Students:16. Cooperative Responses: Work productively with partners or team members (completing tasks, listening to partners, staying on-task).
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 35: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
16. Cooperative Responses
Why?If cooperative structures such as partners, teams, and small groups are to be successful, students must:
- share ideas with classmates- listen to their classmates- provide accurate feedback on responses- ask for clarification of responses- verify responses
![Page 36: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
The Students:17. Accuracy: Provide accurate responses (at least 80% accuracy when new material is presented and at least 90% during review).
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 37: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
17. Accuracy
Why?• While errors are always part of learning, the
instruction should be presented with such clarity that the majority of responses are correct.
• Practice does not make perfect but permanent. Only perfect practice makes permanent.
![Page 38: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
The Students:18. Appropriate Behavior: Exhibit behavior that allows them to learn, their peers to learn, and the teacher to teach.
____All of the time ____Most of the time____Some of the time____Never____No opportunity to observe
![Page 39: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
18. Appropriate Behavior
Why?• Providing clear, engaging instruction is one of the
most important ways to reduce inappropriate behavior.
• Disruptive behavior is less likely to occur when– the pace is brisk– the instruction is clear– inclusive responses are gained
![Page 40: Observation of Delivery Skills](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812ce4550346895d91aa93/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
