Using Effective Methods to Elicit Frequent Responses
Using Effective Methods to Elicit Frequent Responses
Explicit Instruction Course: Module 6 Overview
This module is the second in a set of four course modules focused on explicit instruction. This module introduces the concept of supporting practices necessary for successful implementation of explicit instruction. The module introduces how to use effective methods to elicit frequent responses. Throughout the module, educators will learn how eliciting frequent responses support instruction within the DBI framework.
In this module, educators will learn about:
- How the supporting practices maximize engagement
- Various methods to elicit responses
- How to use these methods to elicit frequent responses that:
- maintain or check accuracy of processing
- match student abilities
- use a variety of response formats (when appropriate)
- maximize student involvement
This module is divided into five parts, with an introduction and closing. The full PowerPoint presentation across all parts of the module is available below with animations included as well as in a Section 508 compliant version.

Coaching Materials and Facilitation Guide
"Coaching/Facilitator Guide" helps facilitate implementation, reflection, and feedback. It is intended for use by external (i.e., SEA or LEA staff, faculty, project-based coaches) or internal (i.e., school-based instructional coaches) coaches working directly with in-service educators who are learning and practicing the course content. Additionally, materials within the coaching/facilitator guide can be adapted by faculty as they prepare pre-service educators. The goal for coaching/facilitation is to ensure that educators are practicing the content they are learning and receiving feedback to improve their instruction. Included in this guide are: (a) sample communication emails, (b) a master checklist, (c) a discussion guide with important talking points, and (d) a fidelity form that can be completed by a coach/facilitator when observing classroom instruction.
