Many years ago, a wise principal once told me that good instruction is the best classroom management tool teachers have at their disposal. In Session 293, Dr. Todd Haydon joins me to discuss the practice of increasing the rate of students' opportunities to respond (OTR), which is an instructional practice that has been shown to improve classroom behavior.

In doing so, Todd and I did a deep dive on his dissertation work, which culminated in the study, Haydon, Mancil, and Van Loan (2009). This study began with a referral to help students who engaged in disruptive and off-task behaviors. Rather than conduct several individual FBAs, Todd and his colleagues coached the teacher to increase the rate of posing academic questions to the class.

The results spoke for themselves (and yes, we'll get into why it was an ABA design), and the rest is history. So tune in to learn how this practice works, and maybe it can be something that will help you in your practice!

Oh, and by the way, he concludes the podcast with a very memorable story, so be sure to tune into the entire episode!
