There is no way to alter power without knowing what occurs or does not occur as a result of that power]]> 2021-05-11 15:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1513990693 I liked that the article gave some scripts to use ..Power and Control are a clue, but not function, if staff are struggling with this concept. https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514000532 2021-05-11 15:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514000532 Behaviors can be grouped into categories: behaviors that continue to occur because they are reinforced, novel or chance behaviors, and involuntary behaviors. rthelen1 https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514005071 2021-05-11 15:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514005071 Occan's Razor..Parsimony "Keep it simple, stupid" https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514007572 2021-05-11 15:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514007572 If teachers wish to intervene simply speaking of power or control provides little guidance in intervention development. Because all operant behaviors function to control the environment, power and control as function are insufficient descriptors of function or purpose of behavior. rthelen1 https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514013202 2021-05-11 15:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/apasch/20ur4kdquhj57qqf/wish/1514013202
