Six Common Teaching Mistakes and What to Do Instead
Abstract
Teachers, behavior analysts, parents, and caregivers are always teaching children something. Do you fall into that category? Once you regularly start teaching children, it’s easy to fall into a rhythm or routine of how and when to teach. We can often put on our blinders and keep doing what we’re doing, while other more effective strategies might be out there. Dr. Bill Heward is aware of this very problem. Take a pause on teaching and join Dr. Heward in this course to learn some evidence-based methods for teaching and how to address common teaching mistakes.
