incremental steps; Teacher script;
choral responding
DI
(Direct Instruction)
Teaching method involves prep guides, clarifying lectures, student discussions, frequent testing, participation points, quality points.
Interteaching
Instructional format involves series of increasingly difficult sequential steps to master skills.
PI
(Programmed Instruction)
System frequently assesses progress to see whether intervention is helping a child or children.
RTI
(Response to Intervention)
Feature of instruction requires students to answer questions or respond to content in each step of instruction.
Active Responding

Outlines with critical terms
and definitions missing;
Students fill in terms and notes while listening to lectures.
Guided Notes
Learning tool involves using flashcards and timings to build fluency.
SAFMEDS
(Say All Fast a Minute
Every Day Shuffled)
Behaviors that students need to perform similarly.
Convergent Behaviors
Behavior that differs from
individual to individual.
Divergent Behavior
Combination of consistent speed and accuracy of performance; usually recorded in count of
actions per minute.
Fluency
Statement of Contingencies; Specifies behavior to be performed and rewards that will follow.
Behavioral
Contract
Measure of student performance level along a set of objectives in
a curriculum.
CRT
(Criterion Referenced Test)

(Natural Environment Teaching)
Different stimuli produce same or equivalent untrained matching responses.
Equivalence
Relations
Training package uses
instructions, modeling, rehearsal and feedback to teach new skills.
BST
(Behavioral Skills Training)
Process of building new behavior
by differentially reinforcing successive approximations of
the behavior.
Shaping
Process of linking steps so they
are emitted in sequence.
Chaining
