Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers

Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers shows classroom educators how to use behavior analysis principles in their own teaching. It is written by Paul Alberto, Anne C. Troutman and Judah B. Axe, and this edition was published by Prentice Hall PTR in 2021.

The book works at an advanced level. It is used in education programmes where future and current teachers learn to analyse behaviour and plan responses based on evidence rather than guesswork.

Behavior analysis in the classroom

Applied behavior analysis, or ABA, studies how behaviour is shaped by what happens before and after it. This text takes those principles out of the clinic and into the school day. It gives teachers strategies they can apply with their own students and adjust as they see results.
