    TAGteach at a Glimpse
     Teaching technology
     TAG
     T = teaching with
     A = acoustic
     G = guidance
     Features
     Acoustic (non verbal) marking of a target
    response
     Unique phrasing (i.e., the tag point is... (5 words
    or less)
     Positive reinforcement
     ABAIMay 28, 2010
    Benefits for our students: Enhancing
    Student “Understanding”
     Acoustic marker: Marking the behavior
     Supports the importance of immediacy of
    reinforcement
     Precise feedback regarding achieving a
    predetermined response criterion (i.e., goal
    setting)
     Removes ambiguity that is sometimes
    associated with praise (word choice and
    intonation)- is “way to go!” as good as, better
    than, or worse than “good job”?
     Information is binary- simply means “yes”
     Increased rate of tags can also serve as a
    reinforcer for the teacher
    ABAIMay 28, 2010
    Benefits cont.
     TAG points
     Clarity of expectation for both student
    and teacher
     Too many expectations can create
    “confusion” for both student and
    teacher
     Answers the question- what am I
    reinforcing again?
     Differentiated responding may not be very
    noticeable

    ABAIMay 28, 2010
    Benefits cont.
     Removing ceilings on performance and
    providing feedback
     Teacher can provide feedback without
    interrupting student performance (i.e., supports
    but does not interfere with student
    performance)
     Presence of tag
     “Yes”
     Absence of tag
     Do something different
     Allows multiple components to occur at once with
    only one behavior as the tag point

    ABAIMay 28, 2010

    Key Elements
     TAGteach
     Precise teaching
     Puts students into
    clear and
    meaningful contact
    with their behavior
    (understanding)
     Tag point (clear
    expectation)
     Encourages
    responsiveness- do
    it differently

    ABAIMay 28, 2010

    Very Brief Overview of Precision Teaching
     Set of measurement procedures that provides a
    precise and systematic method for evaluating
    instructional (teaching) tactics and curricula
     A method of measuring student performance
    regularly and frequently
     Emphasizes daily goal setting in order to facilitate
    improving performance
     Encourages teachers to loop students into
    meaningful contact with their performance (a
    potentially powerful reinforcer!)
     Encourages clarity of expectations (i.e., goal
    setting)

    General Features of the Standard Celeration
    Chart
     Semi-logarithmic
     Is a record for 2 dimensions common to all
    observable behavior
     Count of behavior
     Passage of time
     Standardized tool for charting and analyzing how
    frequency of behavior changes over time

    Semi-logarithmic chart
    vertical axis scaled proportionally in order
    to reflect changes of equal proportion
    regardless of the absolute values associated
    with those changes

    Shared Elements
     TAGteach  Precision Teaching
     Precise teaching  Precise
     Puts students into measurement-
    clear and small changes are
    meaningful contact detected
    with their behavior  Encourages goal
    (understanding) setting- agreement
     Tag point (clear between student
    expectation) and teacher
     Encourages (understanding)
    responsiveness- do  Clear expectations
