Abstract: Precision Teaching, historically applied within educational contexts, has seen its most groundbreaking discoveries, such as the concept of behavioral fluency, unfold within mainstream academic classrooms. This method, however, has not been limited solely to these settings but has also been employed with diverse populations, including those with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. This presentation will delve into an exploration of the current state of the Precision Teaching field while considering the potential for forging new pathways that can extend its reach into various domains and expand our understanding of essential behavioral concepts such as celeration, fluency, and behavioral agility. |
Instruction Level: Basic |
Target Audience: Behaviour Analysts/Precision Teachers |
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) gain insight into the contemporary landscape of Precision Teaching; (2) acquire an enhanced awareness of cutting-edge applications of Precision Teaching; (3) critically consider the potential to engage in more advanced analyses of essential Precision Teaching concepts |
