__** CPS **__ CPS, or Classroom Performance System, is a student response system that allows students to be fully engaged in learning and provides instant feedback and assessment to teachers. This device helps create interactive lessons that teachers can easily modify to fit the needs of each individual learner. Teachers post questions for students to answer. Meanwhile, each students or group of students is given a remote control that is linked to the question. Students answer the questions using the remote controls. This allows the teachers to immediately see which students are correct and which students need more or modified instruction.
