Precision Teaching

Ogden Lindsley

-consequences control operant behavior -the learner knows best-work with observable behavior-monitor frequency daily-use frequency as the universal standard and absolute measure of behavior-adopt a standard display for data

SCC is a standard display of frequency as count per minute, per week, per month, or per year.

a method for learning and practicing skills and strategies until they are fluent or automatic "a system of strategies and their tactics for the self-monitoring of learning"

Pinpoint, record and chart, change, try try again

REAPSRetention- skill emitted after extended periods of time of not engaging in the skillEndurance- skill can be performed for longer periods of time without fatigue in the presence of distractions Stability- practicing skills until the are stableApplication- skill can be used in new situations or combined with other skills resulting in new learning Adduction- skills combine with others to engage in more complex behavior that has not been taught

-correct responses are depicted as dots-incorrect responses are depicted as x-a line drawn through responses is a celeration line-a steeper line means more learning - a flatter line means less learning -bounce refers to variability

StableApplied Retained GeneralizesEndurance

smooth, accurate, sufficiently rapid, and does not decay in the presence of distractors or in novel applications
