Standard celeration chart & precision teaching references

Note: The following list is not a complete list of Standard Chart or Precision Teaching references. Also, if you published or contributed a work that is not on the following list, but you believe that it ought to be on the list, please post to the Standard Charting listserv and let us know. If you do, please include the complete reference citation in APA format, and say how the work is either a Standard Chart or a Precision Teaching contribution. That will expedite putting it on the list! This is a work in progress!

Note, in making this list I sought (a) to include what I consider some representative works of the field of Precision Teaching, (b) to include mainly published work though I added in a few presentations that seem to me to warrant mention, (c) and concentrated primarily on work that deals with frequency, celeration, standard charts, or basics of precision teaching. The main idea was to list items that, for the most part, interested users would have a realistic chance of accessing. That mainly means published material. Nothing was intentionally excluded.  More items will be added over time. As mentioned above, this list represents a work in progress, and is expected to change over time.  Feel free to make suggestions, to send in references that you think ought to go on the list, and other comments or suggestions.  Over time, the list will simply improve!  -- John W. Eshleman, Ed.D
