The US Dept. of Education, in conjunction with the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, recently unveiled a $50 million effort to expand research on early childhood cognitive development. A key issue identified requiring more information and research was the education and professional development of educators. Along these lines, Doug Greer has prepared a book discussing how best to teach, how to design functional curricula, and how to support teachers in using state-of-the-art science instruction materials. The book provides important information both to trainers of future teachers, current teachers, and to supervisors and policy makers in education. To trainers there is information on how to motivate, mentor, and instruct in-service teachers to use the best scientifically based teaching strategies and tactics. To in-service teachers, there is information on how to provide individualized instruction in classrooms with multiple learning and behavior problems, school interventions to help prevent vandalism and truancy, and how curricula and instruction can be designed to teach functional repetoirs rather than inert ideas. To policy makers and supervisors, the book discusses how to determine the effectiveness of curricular innitiatives toward meeting mandated standards in national assessments.Doug Greer was recently awarded the Fred S. Keller Award for Distinguished Contributions to Education by APA for the research and application of the material covered in this book. School programs incorporating the material used in this book have produced 4-7 times more learning outcomes for students than control and baseline educational programs (see www.cabas.com)The book provides research-based and field-tested procedures for:* Teaching students of all ability levels ranging from preschool to secondary school* How to teach special education students in the context of a regular classroom* Best practices for all teachers to teach more effectively* Means of monitoring and motivating teachers' practices

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Designing Teaching Strategies: A Behavior Analysis Systems Approach is the first advanced text covering teaching and supervision as applied behavior analysis. The book describes a systems science of schooling based on 65 years of basic and applied research. The procedures covered in the book are currently in use in the United States, Ireland, England, and Italy in schools that apply comprehensive Applications of Behavior Analysis to Schooling (CABAS). Children in schools that use procedures presented in the book have been found to learn four to seven times more than they did under control conditions.

Psychologists and educators will find procedures that allow them to get to the root of aberrant behavior in the classroom, using a systems approach that draws on all the players in the student's world, including teachers, parents, supervisors, administrators, and university professors. At a time when the demand for behavior analytic teachers and therapist exceeds the supply, Designing Teaching Strategies provides a blueprint to train and ensure quality applications of behavior analysis in education and child therapy settings.
