Precision teaching is a method for ensuring students achieve high levels of fluency and accuracy in specific skills. It involves regular short practice sessions using probes to measure progress, with results charted daily. Key aspects include specifying measurable learning targets, recording daily performance through probes, charting results, and analyzing data to determine if teaching methods need adjustment to maintain or accelerate progress. The method was developed in the 1960s and is based on principles of behaviorism, with a focus on measuring learning through rates of response rather than percentages. While still a relatively small movement, precision teaching uses measurement and data-driven methods to optimize instruction for individual students.
