Precision Teaching (PT)

Precision Teaching was pioneered by Ogden Lindsley in the mid-1960's. Like Direct Instruction, rate of accurate responding (“fluency”) is very important in Precision Teaching.

Fluency at “tool” skills has been shown to be essential for smooth learning of more complex skills. PT practitioners make use of the Standard Celeration Chart, a logarithmic graph, to display fluency data.
