Peer reviewedLindsley, Ogden R. – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1990
The founding policies of precision teaching are discussed: monitor frequency daily, use self-recording, use standard charts to display major changes, and accept that the child knows best how he or she learns. Contributions of teachers that have furthered the development of precision teaching are documented. (JDD)

Peer reviewedKoorland, Mark A.; Nelson, C. Michael – Exceptional Children, 1990
This critique discusses conceptual and practical issues raised in a paper by D. Marston (EC 210 837) on choosing the most technically adequate graph for measuring progress on individual education plans. The critique argues that the Standard Behavior Chart is a technically adequate and useful measurement tool. (JDD)

Peer reviewedMarston, Douglas; Deno, Stanley L. – Exceptional Children, 1990
This article responds to a criticism (EC 231 964) of a paper that discusses graphs for measuring progress on individual education plans (EC 210 837). It notes that the type of chart used is not a major issue; the important point is that teachers repeatedly gather data on educationally relevant tasks and evaluate intervention effectiveness. (JDD)

Precision teaching is a way of maintaining accountability in a classroom, through letting children work on individually prescribed objectives without losing track of each child's needs and rate of progress. This goal is accomplished through taking a timed test of each student's performance daily, and recording the scores on logarithmic charts. The…
