Description
Students who actively participate in lessons improve both behavior and academic performance. The Active Participation DVD Series presents specific instructional procedures and routines to:
- Increase engagement
- Increase on-task behavior
- Increase accountability
- Promote desired behaviors
- Reduce inappropriate behaviors
- Keep the class briskly moving along
Active Participation DVDs can be used both to introduce teaching staff to active engagement strategies and to serve periodically as a systematic review of engagement strategies for staff who are familiar with the concepts, but need a quick refresher.
Show the DVD on a large screen for whole-staff inservice or on a single computer for individual or small-group study sessions. Dr. Archer’s presentations are equally as effective!
Please note that this DVD set is for secondary grades 6-12. There is another version that is tailored to elementary-level classrooms.
