About this episode

The episode discusses how BCBAs can prepare for public school practice with insights from Dr. Kristin Foley and Dr. Fina Robertson.

Since we've done about 100 episodes pointing out the general lack of preparedness of BCBAs leaving grad school and jumping right into public school work, it'd be pretty mean of us not to have some episodes where we tell you HOW to prepare. And this week we have special guests, Dr. Kristin Foley and Dr. Fina Robertson, doing just that. We cover some of the basics as to how to make friends with teachers and administrators rather than alienating them with your behavior analytic jargon before discussing specific reflection and action steps needed to ensure not just competence in your work, but also maintaining your ethical expectations while you get to work. Quick! You've still got two months of summer vacation to listen up, follow Dr. Foley and Dr. Robertson's guidance, and get your prep in gear! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
