Group Supervision Curriculum

Unlock the potential of effective supervision with this comprehensive lesson. "Supervision Unleashed" provides an in-depth look at the key components of behavior analytic guidance. Learn to recognize the scope of each lesson, identify the elements of effective supervision, and distinguish between qualitative and quantitative supervision goals. With references to Task List items I-1 through I-8, this lesson equips you to guide BCBA candidates effectively.

Dive into the foundational concepts of ABA with "Behavioral Cusps and the 7 Dimensions of ABA." This lesson explores the significance of behavioral cusps and pivotal behaviors, helping you understand their critical roles in behavior change. Additionally, you'll define and exemplify the seven dimensions of ABA, with references to Task List items A-1, A-2, B-3, C-1, and D-2, ensuring a robust understanding of these essential concepts.

Embrace neurodiverse-affirming strategies in your assessments with "FBAs and FAs Part 1." This lesson covers the purpose and processes of conducting Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and Functional Analyses (FAs). Learn to interpret FA data, develop interventions, and execute steps such as operationally defining behaviors and conducting descriptive assessments. Task List references include C-1, F-1 through F-9, H-2, I-4, and relevant Ethics Code items, enriching your approach to ethical assessments.

Master the art of behavioral measurement with "Understanding and Applying Measurement Systems in ABA." This lesson demystifies various measurement systems, guiding you on when and how to use them effectively. Gain skills in accurately calculating, analyzing, and graphing behavioral data, supported by Task List references C-1 through C-11, A-2 and A-3, B-1, E-1 and E-2, and F-2, ensuring precision in your practice.

"Exploring Experimental Designs in ABA" offers a deep dive into the core experimental designs in ABA. Understand the key features, benefits, and limitations of four experimental designs, and learn to apply them in appropriate contexts. This lesson includes Task List references D-1 through D-6, C-1 through C-11, E-7, and H-7, providing a solid foundation for implementing rigorous experimental strategies.

Enhance your intervention toolkit with "Understanding Antecedent and Consequence Interventions." This lesson distinguishes between antecedent and consequence interventions, explaining the critical roles of establishing operations (EOs) and abolishing operations (AOs) in behavior shaping. With Task List references B-3, B-9, B-12, F-6, G-2, G-14, G-15, H-2, H-4, and H-5, you'll be well-prepared to implement these interventions effectively.

Supervision Part 2: Transitioning from RBT to BCBA takes a deeper dive into the interpersonal and professional shifts that occur as supervisees move from RBT to BCBA. This dynamic lesson plan guides instructors and learners through essential supervision practices, helping them recognize and deliver feedback effectively, navigate real-world supervisory scenarios, and explore how cultural competence informs supervisory relationships. Grounded in BACB Task List items E-1 through E-12 and I-1 through I-7, this lesson equips future BCBAs with the tools they need to lead with clarity, integrity, and compassion.

Whether you're mentoring new clinicians or preparing to supervise yourself, this lesson fosters meaningful conversations around feedback, power dynamics, and ethical communication—essentials for any behavior analytic leader in training.

Preference Assessments & Schedules of Reinforcement breaks down two cornerstone concepts of behavior analysis and builds them back up with clarity, application, and a dash of nuance. This lesson invites supervisees to explore the full spectrum of preference assessments and make informed choices using tools like the Stimulus Preference Assessment Decision-Making System (SPADS). From there, we move into the mechanics and ethics of reinforcement schedules, unpacking their functions and best-fit scenarios.

This lesson is grounded in key Test Content areas from the BACB’s 6th Edition (B-9, B-10, C-10, F-4, F-7, G-16, H-4, H-5) and supports instructors and learners alike in translating theory into ethical and effective practice. Whether you’re targeting skill acquisition, behavior maintenance, or generalization, this lesson helps ensure reinforcement is more than just a buzzword—it’s strategic, data-driven, and individualized.
