I'm a teacher. Some of my best behaviour tips come from dog training videos, but there isn't really a way to tell my colleagues which doesn't sound terrible.

@fesshole Maybe if one were to use the term "Positive Reinforcement Learning Strategies", and then follow it up with "These are strategies that, in adapted forms, have proven exceptionally effective in e.g. Service Dog training. Note that the underlying principles can be surprisingly effective in the classroom as well."

That way, the focus is on the principle and the strategy, while keeping the implication "surprising" rather than potentially devaluing to the sensitive listener...?

@ermo @fesshole

"These strategies work on mammals generally"

@eestileib @ermo @fesshole I was thinking more along the lines of “ developed for use with limited and non-verbal individuals with an emphasis on toned responses and visual cues”.
