Michele LaMarche and Miranda Schehr examine how teachers can see every learner's response during group instruction. This recorded session compares choral responding, response cards, guided notes, computer-assisted instruction and peer tutoring, with classroom examples spanning circle time and preparation for returning to public school.
Presenter biographies: Michele LaMarche, Miranda Schehr.
MANDATORY DISCLAIMER: The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (“BACB”) does not sponsor, approve, or endorse Special Learning, the materials, information, or sessions identified herein.
The presenters compare response-card formats, including dry-erase boards and felt boards, and explain why the questions need an unambiguous factual answer. Weather activities and sentence-to-picture matching show how the session applies these formats to group instruction.
The guided-notes discussion follows lecture outlines, main-idea preparation and a color-coded binder example for a student returning to public school. The peer-tutoring section examines alternating learner roles, peer feedback and concerns about anxiety or losing during competition.
What does this recording cover?
- Choral-responding examples use shared cues and short vocal answers.
- The response-card discussion compares answer formats and immediate feedback.
- Guided notes connect lecture outlines with main-idea preparation and study organization.
- Classwide peer tutoring involves role changes, positive feedback and corrective feedback.
Recording context: The historical recording includes a science-lesson video with missing audio, which the presenters narrate live.

It was great, maybe more video examples of some of the teaching methods of active student responding

I think that it was great training. I really appreciated the video examples, exemplary materials and practical examples.

A lot was just read off slides - prefer something little better prepared or more discussion

Included useful information and research; the series is from 2012 though, so a little dated.
