readings:

assignments (due Session 5):

  • from the ideas you developed during our brainstorming session, select a set of strategies you would like to implement. Once you have identified a set of strategies you would like to implement, search the existing research literature and find at least two pieces of evidence that support the use of the strategies you selected. If you cannot find evidence as to the effectiveness of the strategies you selected, then select new strategies. You must turn in copies of at least two pieces of evidence that support the practice you wish to employ. When you turn in the evidence, include a cover sheet that summarizes what the evidence you found says about the effectiveness of the strategy. Include one cover sheet for each strategy and the two pieces of evidence in what you turn in to Michael.
    • (click here for this assignment's grading rubric)
  • continue collecting (and graphing!) baseline data for both the behavior you wish to decrease and the replacement skill
  • prepare an overhead transparency of the data for both graphs (two transparencies total) for presentation next week
