Course description
Education looks quite different than it did 25 years ago. The rise in challenging behavior is driving educators out of the field faster than we can replace them. And every time we lose a teacher, we lose all their knowledge, skills and abilities. Why won’t these children just behave?
The common meaning of "behave yourself" is "Do what I want." Coercing us, threatening us with punishment or loss, is the predominant technique for making us "behave.” Sidman, Murray (1989). Coercion and It’s Fallout. Authors Cooperative, Inc.
Instructional Control aims to build a cooperative relationship through positive reinforcement, while coercion relies on aversive consequences to control student behavior. We can move away from forced physical prompting or nagging procedures and create a motivated learner.
