The Pillars of Precision Teaching: Gaining the PT Perspective

October 22, 2021 - 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Evans, Bulla, and Kieta (2021) conducted a concept analysis to redefine Precision Teaching (PT). They listed six critical features for a system to be classified as PT. They include 1) accelerating behaviours, 2) precise behavioural definitions, 3) continuous observation, 4) dimensional measurement, 5) the standard celeration chart, and 6) timely and effective data-based decisions. These critical features are found in some of the best practices of PT that can easily be incorporated into a clinician’s or teacher’s repertoire when given the proper perspective. Some of these best practices include evaluating behaviour in real-time, looking beyond percent correct, defining functional mastery, conducting element-compound analyses, and reinforcing improvements in performance. The goal of the current presentation is to give the audience the ‘PT Perspective’ and equip clinicians and teachers with the tools needed to incorporate PT into their programming if desired. It will review the value of adopting these best practices of PT, demonstrate how to make the transition to do so, and video clips, all supported by clinical and empirical data.
