E SESSIONS—MONDAY & TUESDAY AFTERNOONS
E3) Fluency and Direct Instruction Anne Desjardin, Tim Slocum, Cathy Watkinss
Intended Audience: Open
"For many academic skills, accurate performance is not enough. To be most useful in a wide variety of situations, these skills must be fluent. Fluency is the combination of accuracy, speed,
and ease of performance. In this session, participants will learn strategies and tactics to promote fluency of key skills taught in Direct Instruction programs. The session will (a) explore the importance of fluency, (b) teach the use of the Standard Celeration Chart for monitoring fluency, (c) identify skills for which fluency is important, and (d) recommend specific fluency-building procedures that can be used to supplement Direct Instruction programs."

"As you may be aware, the SCS has been working to move its voting on SCS affairs to an online format in an effort to make it easier for all SCS members to participate in SCS activities. To that end, the SCS will soon release an online nominations form through the SCS website. Using this form, current SCS members can nominate folks for the positions of SCS President, Vice President, and Secretary, as terms for each of those offices end in May 2008. If you would like to participate in the nomination process and the election to follow in May, please ensure that you are a current SCS member. You can check your membership status through the SCS website.
Also, I am pleased to announce that the latest issue of JPTC has arrived back from the printers and will be mailed shortly. Please note that this is the last printed issue you will receive as part of your membership to the SCS. Future editions of JPTC will be produced and distributed electronically to current SCS members as part of their SCS membership benefits. For those of you who prefer to receive JPTC in printed form, not to worry! You will have the option of receiving JPTC in printed form via a new print on demand option that the SCS will make available to you through the SCS website."

12/29/07 Ogden Lindsley podcasts at Behavior Research Co.
Scott Born and the other folks at Behavior Research Co. have gone to some work to digitize some very interesting lectures by the lateOGDEN R. LINDSLEY, the father of Precision Teaching.
Feedback from the SCListserv is that IPTC/Kansas City, MO was enjoyable and educational for participants, with a special treat being a chance to hear first hand reminiscences from Dr. Og Lindsley's Grad students.
Next year's conference may be in Rutgers, NJ, but firm information will be posted in 2008.
Rick Kubina has announced that his next planned podcast will be aninterview with Dr. Owen White. It should be posted at thePT Partyin the next few days, so if you if you visit and it's not up, keep checking because it'll be a listening treat.
7/8/07 Rick Kubina's posting of 10th anniversary charts for the SCListserv
June 12, 2007 was the 10th anniversary of theSCListserv, and Rick Kubina posted his chartshis Precision Teaching blogshowing the total subscribers and the numbers of posts per month and per year on the Listserv 1997-2006.
A couple of users are finding that there are operations that are not performing correctly. It's speculated that the upgraded Excel no longer has full support for the programming language used in the past.
So far the templates appear to perform correctly with Excel 2003.
NOTE: I found it helpful while listening to the presentation to open the blog entry in a SEPARATE window so that I could see the video, and have the larger chart blowup from the blog to examine while Rick was giving the video.
spreadsheet program. The probability is that the templates will NOT operate or display correctly when used with that application, because of incompatibilities in the programming language required for macros in the templates.
"The dead man test was devised by Ogden Lindsley in 1965 as a rule of thumb for deciding if something is a behavior. The need for such a test stems from the importance of focusing on what an organism actually does when attempting to understand or modify its behavior. My students and I probably remind each other of the dead man test more than any other concept we study. Malott and Suarez (2003, p. 9) characterize the dead man test as follows:
If a dead man can do it, it ain't behavior, and if a dead man can't do it, then it is behavior."
