| Abstract: | Suggests 7 measures behavioral educators can take to make effective educational procedures available in public schools. Suggestions include making the 1st priority of behavioral educators the dissemination of effective technology, developing comprehensive educational systems, simplifying and beautifying existing effective procedures, creating a market for effective educational technology, obtaining new measures of educational success, beginning a program of educational activism, and foraging in new fields. These measures are offered in light of the fact that many urban youth face bleak futures, even though the educational technology to correct this problem has existed since the 1970s. Part of the problem is that public school teachers have the right to reject educational procedures that are unappealing to them, that are labor intensive, or that are seen as stifling their creativity.
