Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers

For courses in Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Management, and Behavior Modification.

A balance of technically sound, systematically organized, and engaging content helps students understand applied behavior analysis concepts and know how to use them in classrooms and other settings.
Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers shows teachers how to use the principles of behavior 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 behaviors students display. It takes readers through the entire process, from identifying a target behavior to collecting and graphing data, selecting an experimental design, conducting a functional analysis, arranging consequences, arranging antecedents, and generalizing behavior 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.

The 10th Edition reflects advances in the applications of applied behavior analysis, containing new ethical considerations; recommendations for using modern classroom technologies, updated terminology and inclusive language; over 850 new references; and up-to-date examples that help maximize the effectiveness of teachers in classrooms today.
