Instruction that works About Kids Health, Peter Chaban, June 2006
"In the last article, we looked at the use of learning styles and how researchers had shown their lack of success in improving learning skills in students. The article concluded with some suggestions for what might work to help student learning. In this article, I would like to review research-based practices that do show significant improvements in the learning outcomes for all children, but especially for children with learning disabilities."

Precision Teaching: Measurably Superior Instructional Technology
"Many problems in education are the result of using ineffective or less effective instructional techniques when more effective ones are available. Precision Teaching is an extremely efficient method of instructional assessment and curricular restructuring. It is designed to increase accuracy and fluency in student academic performance. The presented studies used student performance on academic achievement tests to assess the benefit of using Precision Teaching in the classroom."

Top Ten Teaching Errors
Don Crawford, Otter Creek Institute
Direct Institute News, Spring 2003. pp19-21.

From the article
‘’10. Kids not answering together on signal the first time all of the time.
9. Slow pacing
8. Low perfomers not paying attention to the lesson and no intervention in place to ensure that they do pay attention.
7. Low performers not participating and not being asked to participate.
6. Not part firming
5. Not enough think time or wait time for the less able students in the group.
4.Letting the low kids slide, not holding them accountable for giving the correct answer every time.
3.Repeating parts all the time as a standard response to what ought to be incorrect responses from students.
2.Repeating parts all the time because the teacher is in doubt about whether the students were answering correctly so they repeat the part.
1. Compromises on all of the above due to weakness in behavior management.’’

Fluent letter reading demanded the coordination of visual, verbal, and attentional systems"..."this study suggests that limitations in any of these areas could hamper letter reading efficiency, leading to reduced word reading accuracy, and diminished reading fluency. These findings have specific implications for parents and teachers..."

Voting with Their Feet: The Role of Child Assent in Behavior Analytic Intervention for Children with Autism]
Michael A. Fabrizio,.MA. BCBA/
2005 Applied Research and Intervention in Autism Conference, Washington, D.C.
Rather than viewing student escape behavior as something to put on extinction or to "work through", Michael suggests that a good behavior analyst should consider, count and CHART these behaviors and use that information to inform us on the quality of our interventions. He also discusses "assent", the parallel to "consent" in regards to behavior analytical ethics. Interesting and thought provoking
