  • Complete the Checkpoint for Chapter One (Due Session 10)
  • Go out and watch a child with autism learning something, where another person is delivering the instruction. Please evaluate the instruction in terms of how it arranges for active meaningful responding, errorless learning, immediate feedback, use of KCR, use of formal prompts, and use of KCR feedback. (NOTE: Please be nice while you’re doing this. You’re not there to judge the other person. You’re there to practice evaluating instructional episodes by discriminating the presence or absence of important features of good instructional design. Be nice, considerate, and attentive, and please don’t forget to thank them for allowing you this wonderful learning opportunity.) (Due Session 12)
