Understanding Responsive Teaching

Responsive teaching involves the routine and systematic elicitation of evidence regarding student learning to guide instructional decisions in real time. This approach allows educators to adjust their teaching methods based on students' understanding and misconceptions, ensuring that instruction is effective and relevant. The idea is rooted in the belief that understanding what students know and think is crucial, as teachers cannot facilitate learning on behalf of their students. The practice not only helps in improving academic outcomes but also plays a significant role in fostering a supportive learning environment.
