Summary
Precision Teaching (PT), and the Standard Celeration Charting that goes along with it, is an area of Behavior Analysis that I've never really understood. In fairness, I never really took the time to learn it either. That said, since the inception of this podcast, I have had numerous emails from listeners asking me to interview Rick Kubina on this very topic. For various reasons that I describe in our interview, I was scared reluctant to do so, but I'm so glad that Rick and I finally carved out time to record this show. Rick, with Captain James Tiberius Kirk In this episode, Rick covers the basics of PT, why the Standard Celeration Chart is a superior measurement tool, and answers numerous listener questions. Throughout our conversation, we mentioned a few articles and other resources, which can be found here: Rick's YouTube channel, which has some nice primers on the SCC The Chartlytics website and YouTube channel The Precision Teaching Book, by Kubina & Yurich (2012) The Standard Celeration Society's website and Facebook page A cool study (Datchuk & Kubina, 2017) on using these strategies for improving sentence writing Kubina et al. (2015). A Critical Review of Line Graphs in Behavior Analytic Journals So when you listen to this episode, you'll hear me profess my ignorance on all things PT. However, I will be taking action to remediate this by attending Rick's 2-day PT workshop that's coming up in Las Vegas. Rick, and the company he co-founded, Chartlytics, also have workshops that are coming up in Miami and Pittsburg, with more to be scheduled. If you are interested in diving into PT like I am, but can't get away to attend one of Rick's workshops, the folks at Chartlytics have put together a comprehensive online learning package that includes 30 hours of instruction, the Kubina & Yurich textbook, and a very special bonus that you'll have to see to appreciate. To sweeten the deal, they are offering a huge discount for listeners of The Behavioral Observations Podcast. You can check out the deal by clicking the here.

| 0:12.1 | Welcome to the Behavioral Observations podcast, stimulating talk for today's behavior analysts. |
| 0:19.6 | Now here's your host, Matt Secoria. |
| 0:25.6 | Hey folks, welcome to session 39. You know, if you're anything like me, you've spent your |
| 0:30.9 | professional career running away from the standard acceleration chart. You know, it was brought up |
| 0:37.0 | in grad school a couple of times, |
| 0:39.2 | and it just was one of those things that it was never really used all that much in the various |
| 0:45.3 | places that have worked and things along those lines. And as such, I never really got into it. |
| 0:51.1 | I've been aware over the years that there is this small contingent of behavior analysts |
| 0:55.5 | who are very passionate about the use of the chart and precision teaching procedures more |
| 0:59.6 | generally, but it just didn't seem like anything that was a fit for my purposes. Well, today's |
| 1:06.3 | guest really helped to, I guess, change my perspective on that, and it's a guest that has been |
| 1:13.4 | recommended many, many times by lots of listeners, and it is none other than Rick |
| 1:18.5 | Cabina from Penn State University and Chartletics. |
| 1:22.3 | So there may be some of you listening who are wondering, well, what the heck is Chartletics? |
| 1:26.2 | Well, aside from being a new |
| 1:27.6 | sponsor to the Behavioral Observations podcast, Chartletics is a single comprehensive system for |
| 1:32.7 | behavior reduction and academic improvement through precision teaching. It's based on 50-plus |
| 1:38.0 | years of peer-reviewed research and experience in applied academic and behavioral settings. |
| 1:43.4 | Chartlittics has modernized the science of PT by simplifying the data collection, |
| 1:48.1 | visual analysis, and reporting processes, and it's fully automated and easy use. |
| 1:53.4 | As a matter of fact, one person I spoke with said, if you can use Facebook, you can use |
