Dr. Kent Johnson would like to meet and greet you all to describe his new book,The Morningside Model of Generative Instruction: Building A Bridge Between Skills and Inquiry Teaching,co-authored with long-time co-writer Dr. Elizabeth Street, as well as Morningside Academy Directors Andrew Kieta and Joanne Robbins.At over 500 pages, this comprehensive work provides a thorough overview of how best practices in behavioral education can bridge the seemingly endless divide between educators who build basic skills and those who aim to teach inquiry and thinking. This is a must-have for those interested in expanding from direct instruction and fluency-based instruction into higher order thinking and problem solving, as well as teachers looking to build solid foundations from which to continue inquiry-based approaches.

Topics to discuss will include:

• Telehealth applications for behavior analysts in research and practice
• Supporting trainee/consultee/supervisee skill development through virtual training environments
• Teleconsultation to support ABA practice in school settings
• Telesupervison and support.

Our 8th edition just came out on April 1, 2021, and we’re eager to chat with you about it. To answer questions like, “Why’s this the world’s greatest intro to behavior analysis?” Like, “Is it just rats and pigeons or DD or autism?” Like, “Why’s it so weird?” “Is it really as rigorous as you think it is?” “Is it a fun read?” “Is it an easy read?” “Is it really an excellent choice for both college freshmen and first-year grad students?” “Is it really responsible for seducing a lot of innocent students into the field of behavior analysis?”

Oh yes, and we might also chat about our fantasy of providing continuous, online support and about any corrections you recommend or problems you see, because we hope to make whatever adjustments are helpful online, as we probably can’t re-edit the book, until the 9th edition.

This isn’t a talk, but rather an informal question, and hopefully answer, session.

Join the fun tonight with a virtual game night and cocktails/mocktails event! No RSVP or registration is required, just click sign on at 8:00 PM Eastern (or a few minutes before) to join other attendees for a fun evening of learning how to make two cocktails/mocktails.

Please note you will need the materials and ingredients listed here to make your cocktails or mocktails; we suggest gathering them all ahead of time.
