What this is
A paired teaching system for running a BCBA study class or practicum cohort. Know the definition, apply the concepts, make confident clinical decisions. Every task in the 6th Edition BCBA Test Content Outline is covered with a short teaching plan on the instructor side and matching practice on the student side.

How a meeting runs
- 1First 10 minutes — retrieve one idea from last time and surface what's still uncertain
- 2Each task, 20–25 minutes — open with a familiar moment, teach the definition, model a decision, pairs complete the lab, debrief the strongest competing answer
- 3Last 15 minutes — review questions, ask for a plain-language exit explanation, assign one safe practice or observation task
- 4Domain lab — a separate 60–90 minute lab and debrief after the final task in each domain
Covers all nine domains
Behaviorism and Philosophical Foundations, Concepts and Principles, Measurement and Data Display, Experimental Design, Ethical and Professional Issues, Behavior Assessment, Behavior Change Procedures, Selecting and Implementing Interventions, and Personnel Supervision and Management — with a suggested sequence of about 37 task meetings plus nine domain labs.
