Think Inclusive

Alfie Kohn | Does Behaviorism Belong in the Classroom?


Listen Later

Today on the podcast, we have a very special SUPERSIZED conversation with Alfie Kohn, prolific speaker and author, on human behavior, education, and parenting. 

We discuss whether bribes or positive reinforcement are really the same things and answer the question…should educators abandon behaviorist ideas altogether?

Mr. Kohn is the author of several books, including:

Punished by Rewards: Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes

The Schools Our Children Deserve: Moving Beyond Traditional Classrooms and "Tougher Standards"

We also reference Autism and Behaviorism: New Research Adds to an Already Compelling Case Against ABA.

This episode's transcript can be found here.
