Prevent-Teach-Reinforce: The School-Based Model of Individualized Positive Behavior Support, Second Edition is an easy-to-use practical guide to the research-proven Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model. This book helps K-8 educators solve serious behavior challenges by guiding school-based teams through the five-step PTR process: 1) teaming and goal-setting, 2) data collection, 3) functional behavioral assessment, 4) creation of a behavior intervention plan, and 5) progress-monitoring and data-based decision making. This edition has been updated to include the latest research supporting PTR; increased emphasis on the PTR facilitator's role, collaboration, and the teacher's observations; new information on multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and evidence-based classroom strategies; and more detailed guidance on every PTR step. Useful forms are provided as chapter appendices and downloadable materials. Book appendices describe specific Prevent, Teach, and Reinforce strategies in depth and present rich case studies illustrating PTR in action. ;
The significantly expanded and updated new edition of a widely used text on reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives while interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the field's key ideas and algorithms. This second edition has been significantly expanded and updated, presenting new topics and updating coverage of other topics. Like the fir...
In the author's words: "This book is an honest attempt to understand what it means to be educated in today's world." His argument is this: No matter how important science and technology seem to industry or government or indeed to the daily life of people, as a society we believe that those educated in literature, history, and other humanities are in some way better informed, more knowing, and somehow more worthy of the descriptor "well educated." This 19th-century conception of the educated mind weighs heavily on our notions on how we educate our young. When we focus on intellectual and scholarly issues in high school as opposed to issues, such as communications, basic psychology, or child r...
