This elegant and easily used measurement system gives the teacher and the learner immediate feedback of progress, problems and possible options. Precision Teaching offers performance standards, practice options, remedial alternatives and a consistent method of recording, analyzing and making decisions on student performance. Precision Teaching was created by Ogden Lindsley at Kansas University. It was used in thousands of classrooms in a major educational study, the Sacajewea Project, with spectacular results.
Precision Teaching takes a timed sample of the learner's specific performance, like oral reading, compares it to other samples of that task and provides a comparative graphic measure of the pace and quality of that attempt.
