Here is an assessment and teaching tool we have use to teach teaching.?We present the numbered stories on one side of a card and the stage name on the other.?First we do them in order.?Then we have the student shuffle the cards. Note that to use for testing the order needs to be randomized first.

Albert.?The student shows no improvement.?The rate of responding is low and flat
The teacher looks at the chart?and sees something new?has to be done
The teacher decides to form the class into teams of 4 to 5 students
The material is put on flash cards with the question on 1 side the answer on the other side
The students count how many cards they can do in one minute trials
The students chart their performance
All the students who showed no improvement now show acceleration after the intervention
The increase in performance indicated by the charts inspired the students.
Each day, the team that had the most cards won a prize.
The teacher decided to base he decision on the teaching method and observed motivation of the students.
The teacher thought long and hard, worried a good deal and then decided to adopt the new method of teaching
