Teaching and Learning in Plain English is Patrick McGreevy's classic introduction to Precision Teaching and Precision Tutoring — written for the teachers and parents who found the Standard Celeration Chart intimidating and the literature full of jargon. McGreevy strips the method down to five practical steps: select a task, set an aim, count and teach, develop a learning picture, and decide what to do. Each step is explained in everyday language and backed with worked examples — dozens of sample tasks across reading, math, spelling, speech, signing, and self-help skills, along with practice sheets, follow-along sheets, SAFMEDS flash cards, decision rules, and blank Standard Celeration Charts ready to use with your own students. The book was designed as a working manual rather than a textbook: a three-ring format that classroom teachers requested and that instructors can add their own material to. A plain-English-to-technical glossary is included for readers who want to move on to the more advanced literature. Patrick McGreevy, PhD, taught special education for six years before joining the University of Missouri–Kansas City, where he served as assistant professor of special education and editor of the Journal of Precision Teaching. This is the second edition.
