Precision Teaching Continues to Struggle (BCBA, RBT, BACB)
What to Expect
There’s this perspective that if something isn’t on the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB’s) exam on the minimum standards of the field then it’s not worthwhile. Additionally, we’ve explored on this channel there there’s criticism on fluency-based instruction. The fact of the matter is that there are outcomes produced that are unbelievable AND it is behavior analytic and it is entirely data-based.
So the question becomes, why the disconnect? This teaser from a podcast episode with Rick Kubina, Dimitri Makridis, and myself (RYANO) includes a brief discussion on this history of Precision Teaching, the lack of research and written works from Precision Teachers, and a suggestion to check out more information on the approach to education and behavioral change. Check it out below, share your thoughts on the implications, and check out the links below.

About
Ryan O'Donnell, MS, BCBA - https://www.patreon.com/thedailyba
Hey, I'm Ryan. I usually go by Ryan O or RYANO. I hail from northern Nevada in the grungy, yet surprisingly classy, (and newly renovated) Reno, Nevada . I like my climate like I like my data: evolving, uncompromising, and progressive. I am a master of science; that is, I have an M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis, however my interests have grown to include many other interests, including entrepreneurship and capturing perspectives and stories through various mediums. These interests and skills have allowed me to work with a lot of great people. I've started three businesses, started numerous active joint venture agreements, a behavioral think-tank, a podcast, a professional development movement, helped organizations that support people with Intellectual Disabilities, to list a few. Currently I'm on a "gap" year where I make content for behavioral science enthusiasts and prepare for my next big venture (TBA in 2019). I focus outside this role on building a community of thought leaders and doers to create content that increases the transparency of behavior analytic technologies with the hopes of creating a platform that truly saves the world. My interests are all over, from artificial intelligence and machine learning applications to the theory and philosophy behind Why We Do What We Do (wwdwwdpodcast.com). In my spare time you can find me consuming social media, prepping/climbing a giant mountain, or walking around with my camera in my hand (and, occasionally, all simultaneously). Connect with me personally on most all social platforms via @TheDailyBA and let me know what drives you to pursue the Behavior Analysis vision.
