PRECISION INNOVATION

About us

We're on a mission to accelerate outcomes for learners receiving behavioral and educational services by training & supporting practitioners (like you!) The two of us (Liz Lefebre, M.A., BCBA-LBA and Amy L. Evans, M.Ed., BCBA, IBA) were fortunate enough to have received intensive training and mentorship early in our careers in the areas of Precision Teaching, Fluency Based Instruction, Instructional Design, and Assent Based Instruction. Given how critical these frameworks and methods have been in our work with learners, and how rare it is to find high-quality professional development in these areas, we decided to launch Octave in 2020 to make a broader impact on our field(s) and reach as many learners as possible with ethical, effective educational practices. Spend a few months in one of our cohort programs to deepen your knowledge, build a community of practice, get direct training and feedback from experts, and effectively implement what you learn. In the business world, opportunities to upskill are provided via coding bootcamps and accelerator programs - we see our intensive programs as similar experiences, but for teachers and behavior analysts!

    Wowza! We had such an incredible turnout at our last week's chart share with the Standard Celeration Society -- with so many brilliant educators coming together to share their invaluable knowledge and expertise! 🙌 From seasoned chart sharers to first-timers, we had so many great shares that led to insightful discussions on teaching things like math facts, segmenting words into sounds, reading passages, and relational language! Coming together in a judgment-free zone allowed us to learn from and inspire each other in such a meaningful way. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! We’re so grateful to be part of this vibrant community of dedicated, brilliant and compassionate educators who are making a real difference every day helping others. Your willingness to share your time and insights means the world to us. We're still buzzing from this awesome event, which absolutely reinvigorated our love for teaching, with the power of the SCC to show us the way! 🌟 The feedback on our chart shares has been overwhelmingly positive so far, so it looks like Octave x the Standard Celeration Society will be continuing with these events every other month! Keep an eye out for announcements about our next chart share in October!🙂 #chartshare #communityKnowledge #precisionteaching #SCC #collaborativelearning #professionaldevelopment #academicgrowth #teamwork #learnerknowsbest

She has extensive experience implementing assent-based instruction models in a classroom, as well as developing assent-based trauma-informed training protocols for staff in complex group settings.
