  • Episode 41- Strategy Showdown- Differential Reinforcement

    It's a Strategy Showdown! This special episode of Education Insights: Focus on Behavior puts two popular prompting strategies head-to head: DRA and DRI. Both live under the same "differential reinforcement" umbrella, but the way they work in a classroom? Pretty different. We're breaking down what sets them apart, where each one shines, and helping you figure out which might be the better fit for your students.


    You're the Judge

    This is a Showdown episode, which means we're handing the decision to you. After listening, think about your own classroom: your students' needs, your instructional goals, and your teaching style. There's no wrong answer here — just the right fit for your room.

  • Episode 39- Strategy Showdown- Prompting

    It's a Strategy Showdown! This special episode of Education Insights: Focus on Behavior puts two popular prompting strategies head-to-head: verbal prompting and gestural prompting. Both live under the same "prompting" umbrella, but the way they work in a classroom? Pretty different. We're breaking down what sets them apart, where each one shines, and helping you figure out which might be the better fit for your students.

    What We Cover:

    • A quick refresher on what prompting is and why teachers rely on it
    • How verbal prompting works — using spoken words, cues, or instructions to guide a student toward the desired behavior or response
    • How gestural prompting works — using physical cues like pointing, nodding, or hand signals to guide a student without saying a word
    • Real classroom scenarios for each strategy
    • The honest pros and cons of both — including the "yeah, but what if they become dependent on the prompt?" conversation
    • Factors to help you decide which approach fits your classroom culture, grade level, and current behavior goals


    You're the Judge
    This is a Showdown episode, which means we're handing the decision to you. After listening, think about your own classroom: your students' needs, your instructional goals, and your teaching style. There's no wrong answer here — just the right fit for your room.

  • Episode 37- Strategy Showdown- Group Contingencies

    It's a Strategy Showdown! This special episode of Education Insights: Focus on Behavior puts two popular classroom behavior management approaches head-to-head: independent group contingencies and interdependent group contingencies. Both live under the same "group contingency" umbrella, but the way they work in a classroom? Pretty different. We're breaking down what sets them apart, where each one shines, and helping you figure out which might be the better fit for your students.

    What We Cover

    • A quick refresher on what group contingencies are and why teachers love them
    • How independent group contingencies work — same goal, same reward criteria, but each student earns it (or doesn't) on their own
    • How interdependent group contingencies work — the whole group succeeds or struggles together based on collective behavior
    • Real classroom scenarios for each strategy
    • The honest pros and cons of both — including the "yeah, but what about that one kid?" conversation
    • Factors to help you decide which approach fits your classroom culture, grade level, and current behavior goals

    You're the Judge

    This is a Showdown episode, which means we're handing the decision to you. After listening, think about your own classroom: your group dynamics, your students' needs, and your management style. There's no wrong answer here — just the right fit for your room.
