This course - the first in a series of four - will introduce educators and other interested professionals to a behavioral view of teaching and learning. The course presents basic behavioral processes and principles (illustrated largely with respect to teaching children with autism) and provides a conceptual foundation for subsequent courses in behavioral assessment and the application of behavioral methods in specialized instruction. Readings will be drawn from both text and primary sources, both recent and classic in the field.
