Effective Teaching Effective Living: A Review of Behavior Analysis for Effective Teaching by Julie S. Vargas

摘要

Elevated academic standards and expectations, along with competing contingencies outside the classroom, have given the teaching profession new and demanding challenges with which to contend. Although previous textbooks have addressed behavior analytic techniques specifically directed for the classroom environment, few have done so with comprehensive overviews of both instructional and basic behavioral strategies from a teacher's perspective. This review describes Julie Vargas' book in terms of its contribution to the educational field, as well as its impressive style for reaching its target audience.
