In DISE, unison responding isn’t just about everyone answering together; it’s about giving every student the practice they need to master new skills efficiently. When all students respond at once, teachers get immediate, reliable feedback on the group’s mastery level without calling on students one by one.

So what’s the tap for?

The tapping provides a clear signal for when to start and how fast to respond, helping the group stay truly “in unison.” This lets teachers quickly spot who’s confident, who’s unsure, and where more practice is needed.

Research in support of DISE

A study published in early 2022, using gold-standard research methods, compared the effects of DISE and traditional teaching approaches on the English language proficiency and oral reading fluency of 746 sixth- and seventh-grade English Language Learners in 29 middle schools across three states. Teachers who participated in the study were randomly assigned to teach DISE Level 1 or their usual English language development program to their students. The authors of the study concluded that Analyses of oral English language suggested differences between intervention conditions favored the DISE condition for students who began with lower English language proficiency and accumulated when taught over two years.

✔️ Newcomers gained confidence to communicate in class and on the playground
✔️ Teachers noticed happier, more engaged students who were eager to participate
