Australia's natural environment poses challenges for human inhabitants and will continue to pose novel challenges in an era of climate change.

Trial-based functional analysis (TBFA) is an accurate and ecologically valid assessment of challenging behavior. Further, there is evidence to suggest that individuals with minimal exposure to behavior analytic assessment methodology (e.g., parents, teachers) can quickly be trained to conduct TBFAs in naturalistic settings (e.g., schools, homes).…

Ten interviews of senior leaders gave a clear picture about what they considered mentoring should be in a College of Education in Ghana -- a coaching model of directive instruction and a hierarchical transfer of skills and knowledge. While mentoring was viewed as a central part of a training teacher's course, funds, attitudes and workload did not…
