- Learning to be fluent in nearly any skill does not need to be time-consuming and laborious. Danielle Costa demonstrates how incorporating methods developed in the fields of Neurology and Behavioral Science can help anyone achieve fluency more rapidly than traditional nose to the grindstone methods.
Costa has helped hundreds of students of all ages to become fluent in the subjects of reading, writing, and math with nothing more than a stopwatch and a pencil. Others have used these same methods to become fluent in skills large and small; including performing orthopedic surgery, making the perfect espresso, and teaching a dog to retrieve slippers. Danielle Costa is the Founder and Director of Learning Matters, a private educational center that serves children struggling academically. Learning Matters opened in 2011 as a Precision Teaching learning center that focuses on building fluency and accelerating growth in students of all abilities in math, reading, and writing.
Danielle has had the privilege of working directly alongside and being mentored by Dr. Carl Binder, one of BF Skinner’s last students. She has worked in the classroom and small group instruction at Morningside Academy, a nonprofit school in Seattle. She has taught math, reading and writing intervention classes at Umpqua Valley Christian School.
Danielle served as an officer for the Standard Celeration Society, a professional Precision Teaching organization committed to supporting and disseminating tools and methods to improve student outcomes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
So powerful!
Great introduction to this critical feature of reading!
I am a teacher of AUTISTIC LEARNERS who are speechless and are struggling to sit and listen. They are struggling to hold a colour pencil how can u help them to try to say a word!!!
And comprehension of the text read?
They can't comprehend until they can read the text without thinking about sounding the text out.
This idea of focusing on comprehension is a result of the Balanced Literacy movement because context is used to determine words. It is wrongly based on false beliefs disproved by research.
Here's a simple way to measure comprehension proven by research: give a reading passage at grade level to a student to read for one minute. The number of correct words read corresponds to comprehension. As an experienced former Special Education teacher, the vast majority of students who struggle with comprehension do so because they can't decode the passage.
Years ago we used Precision Teaching of which most materials came out of Great Falls, MT for our area.
This sadly just points to the horrendous failings of the US education system. This is common practice in modern literacy teaching. Every elementary classroom from G1-5 should be doing fluency practice in both literacy and numeracy. Absolutely rife with inaccuracies too.
Lost me at "precision teaching and the grace of god changed his life." Why do you Americans insist on this pervasive, insidious nonsense. I am not here for religious instruction.
The speaker was merely reporting on the subject's account of his own experience. Were you put off by the report of the event or by the subject's personal belief?
way to focus on absolutely nothing of the subject of the speech...Haters, haters everywhere...
