Title overview

For courses in Applied Behaviour Analysis, Behaviour Management, and Behaviour Modification

Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers shows teachers how to use the principles of behaviour analysis to create their own recipes for success. Through classroom-based examples and practices firmly grounded in research, the book gives teachers powerful ways of dealing appropriately and ethically with some of the most challenging behaviours students display. It takes readers through the entire process, from identifying a target behaviour to collecting and graphing data, selecting an experimental design, conducting a functional analysis, arranging consequences, arranging antecedents, and generalising behaviour change. Numerous vignettes and examples describe students at various levels of ability as well as teachers ranging from excellent to poor, providing concrete, relatable, and often amusing examples of principles and practices at work.
