Behavior Science That Transforms Teams and Organizations
As an organizational behavior consultant, I work with leaders in education, healthcare, and human services to develop systems that support individuals, strengthen teams, and deliver measurable results.
I’m Anika Costa, founder of The Operant Teacher, LLC. With more than 20 years of experience as a behavior analyst, instructional designer, and former classroom teacher, I help leaders and their teams address performance challenges with practical, science-based solutions.
I collaborate with school districts, healthcare providers, and human service organizations to develop systems that enhance clarity, consistency, and outcomes. Whether I am designing custom training, coaching leadership teams, or facilitating workshops, I provide tools that clarify expectations, track progress, and achieve measurable results.
I also support educators, behavior professionals, and team leaders who want to refine their skills, broaden their impact, and lead with confidence. My mission is clear: to apply behavior science in ways that enable people to show up, step up, and do their best work—every day.
