Below is a link to a YouTube video describing Discrete Trial Teaching. DTT programming is designed to meet the needs of each individual student. Therefore, programming may look different from student to student. This video was made by a team outside of the Kirksville district and does the following programming items differently, so remember that while watching: __Errorless learning in Kirksville__: Is not done with all students __Data Collection in Kirksville__: Varies from student to student and is not done as shown in the below video __Mastery Criteria in Kirksville__: Is listed with each program and team members should review each program to find this information. __Maintenance System in Kirksville__: 2 types of Maintenance data is collected. Maintenance sittings are completed within each program in the program book. Also, each student has a "Maintenance Packet" that is made and reviewed once a week. It is also used as a form of Sub plans for subs to follow in our classrooms when team members are absent.

The below links are an example of doing mixed discrete trials, which means a variety of the student's programs are completed within the same sitting. Both videos also show the use of a token economy system. Both students are working to gain 5 tokens/stars/etc before they can gain the desired reinforcement.
