Inspired by office conversations and this thread
We need a list of all the words or phrases in planning.
List the ones that are used the most, liked the least, over-used but necessary, mis-used, etc.
I'll start:
Bulk regulations
Aesthetically pleasing
After a while I'll get them into a list.

Pondering sexual love & religion
My family is "service" centric. Priests, nuns, teachers, navel men.... Leaders, yes but always service oriented, grateful to help growth (spiritually, mentally, for man & country....). Everything discussed openly, even sex, but "straight" married sex (the objective being babies or his pleasure, never hers - I'm female)
One or two ventured out, we're gossiped about endlessly, as we aged, we differed off into our own lives, scattering about the country...
We each rebuilt our families, with friends, some having children, some married, all divorced.... Nuclear is the term I suppose.....
Within each of them, I know, is the same thing within me, and I suspect within all of you: The need to be loved in a way we understand
Within the religions I know/read (catholic, judaism, Baha'i, muslim...), all indicate a "requirement" of "worship" (now focus less on the word worship than the sentiment behind; admire, revere, loving actions, etc)...
If we show our love to our "god" (in which ever way you believe in a power/energy), through our actions, our words.....
Why is it so difficult to have a similar relationship on earth with another human....
If we can love "god" and "one"...... (and traditionally, that one + me = 3)
And all love comes from the same place within....
And is, apparently, limitless....
And we're at 3 limitless loves minimum in our traditional equation,
Is it not logical that poly exist, and can exist lovingly & well, for all parties?
Should it not be openly discussed, happily, lovingly.... without shame, scorn or judgement
Should we not worship love in all it's forms?
Yes, yes, I know, logic/paper/math have nothing to do with the insides of a persons emotional being. Yes, yes, I know the emotional "cluster-f$&ks" are endless (excuse my language)....
But if love heals all wounds.....
I'm in la-la-land aren't I.....
Thoughts & feedback welcome :-)

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
reception staff was able to place our group in three adjacent rooms, per our request upon our arrival We didn't get enough bath towels at our first day of cleaning but more were provided after that, at our request.
New rooms but poor staff Get a room service is my first negative online booking experience. Next time I will not book anything through this service and I would recommend others to use better services like hotels.com or expedia.
Staff and facilities were fine the mattress was way to hard for the density of pillow options. Hard mattress needs soft pillows.
Staff was super helpful especially Evelyn at the front desk. She made our stay very comfortable and really he'd us in deciding where're oils spend a few hours having fun with our young children. Extra points to her for her hospitality. Nothing
Location Pubic hair in the bathroom, and unidentifiable debris in bath, dirty walls.
The bed was comfortable. The kitchenette was clean. The carpet wasn't too bad. This was my wife first visit to LaQuinta and she pleasantly surprised of the size and cleanliness of the room. This was our first wedding anniversary! Thanks for being part of great memories.
The room & towels and wash cloths & bed linens were mice and clean.the breakfast was very good. The tub was peeking and discolored and there was ants
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Despite hosting many different youth sport teams, our room was very quiet. Nice, adequate fitness center. Great, accommodating staff! Nothing
Conveniently located off of route 95. The hotel had a moldy odor to it and although the rooms were renovated they were a bit dirty.
We were visiting family who live in Aberdeen so the location of the hotel was perfect. It is 20 minutes outside of Baltimore. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My son loved swimming in the pool. The mattress was a bit too firm for me, and one night, I killed 5 ants in the room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
I was having my daughters birthday party there so they could swim and play in the game room. The place was under construction and nothing was available but the room were clean and the late night staff were friendly. I did not like that the pool was not open and the rooms were kinda small compared to most. I checked in around 4 pm and the lady was like a statue and hardly welcomed us. The morning clerk was rude and told us to check out at 11. too rude to put in words
Rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast is good. The staff member at the desk was very nice and helpful when we ask about nearby restaurants. Even gave us a coupon! Coffee at breakfast could be a lot better. In room iron wasn't good. Our room on the second floor (previous visit) was nicer than our room on the third floor.
Free breakfast! The wheelchair accessible bathroom was not planned out very well. The whole bathroom was wet due to the placement of the drain.
Location right off i95Close to Ripken pool has a chlorine problem - my son burnt his eyes while swimming. In the lobby at various times during my stay I overheard other parents complaining about the chlorine in the pool.
Very helpful staff. Excellent breakfast in the am. Hotel very clean. No
close to highway room was dirty, asked for somewhere to eat and the girl had zero suggestions
Rate Cleanliness
Every interaction with the staff, both the cleaning crew and front desk, was friendly and genuine. The room was clean, and, aside from a leak everything was in good order. The window leaked during a rain storm. The beds were more firm than I anticipated. The wifi was barely functional, even for basic email and web-surfing.
Very friendly staff and always helpful. Nice breakfast area with decent choices. Quiet and away from the sounds of traffic😀 May I suggest more customer laundry facilities. Single washer and dryer, just not enough to serve an entire host, for extended periods.
reserved room with king bed and non-smoking. Received a smoking room with two queen beds. Also, cover on sofa had stains that kept us from sitting on it.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Very Clean, quiet. A little hard to get to.
Good location & staff. Can replace the makeup remover with a shower cap.
Had a pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable and more than I expected for the price I paid.
1) We had a noise coming from our refrigerator, I informed the person at the desk and the next night it was gone. 2) Hotel Employee at the front desk was very kind to us . Made our 'to go' bag with a note. 3) Hotel Employee , the breakfast lady was excell Some of the guests were loud in the hallway. Tougher to sleep.
The bed and the pillows were amazing!! Very clean, nice fluffy towels. Very nice stay!
Indoor pool and jacuzzi
Exterior is nicely maintained. Lobby area is clean and simple but nice. Very small store with a few basic snack and hygiene items. Pool was nice. Room was clean and nice. Beds were pretty comfy. Micro & mini fridge were great. Pretty good free breakfast. Staff was very helpful and nice. Maybe one that just didn't have a great personality for the front desk and seemed bothered all the time. The only real complaint that I have is the cable channel selection. Very limited, especially for small kids.

clean, friendly staff, modern design. Lots of space in a small room, very comfortable and 'livable'. nothing
The room ,the breakfast I was traveling with 12 year boy for a tournament at Cal Ripken. The room had great window shades. The staff was great .I'll get light cleaning everyday. Knowing this is a new hotel their have a lot to expand . Being so close to Cal Ripken more thing for the young kids.
Nice rooms and free breakfast. Bathroom could have been a little cleaner
We enjoyed the hotel alot. The staff was wonderful and very helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. We were there to see our nephew play ball with the aberdeen Ironbirds and it was a good location. The cookout area was great. The only thing i would say is the queen beds are very small Really wish they had king size beds
New hotel. Clean. Nice amenities. Good breakfast choices. Breakfast area could be a bit more spacious and side road to hotel needs to be redone. Get on that MDDOT
Modern and clean Pool was not open
This hotel is new and clean. The breakfast was great and had a nice variety!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Large room. Lots of pillows. Clean. Easily granted a late check-out. Quiet area. Breakfast was fair. 'Scrambled Feggs' - fake eggs. No skim milk. Little whole wheat/whole grain choices in breads and (limited) cereal selection. Bed was soft.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Friendly staff. Very clean and up to date. Hot beverages available 24 hrs and a full free breakfast served daily. Minutes from 95 and plenty of restaurants and stores close by. No
Very nice hotel. Clean! Bed was not the most comfortable for a new hotel. Believe it or not, the pillows were TOO fluffy. Never had that problem before. Just a personal preference though, really, not a complaint.
The room was clean and comfortable. A variety of breakfast selections were offered. Hotel staff was courteous and welcoming.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Staff was very accommodating and friendly Wish they had a shuttle bus service, but it's a small town, so, I understand.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The hotel is clean, and clearly somewhat new. The staff said they couldn't change me to a King room citing Priceline policy, and the request goes through Priceline. I use NYOP often and know this isn't true. Was very put off by feeling 'mistreated.'
This hotel is clean and comfortable.
The hotel's rooms were stylish and updated. The location was out in the middle of nowhere. It took the front desk staff fifteen minutes to check me in. No breakfast and the one I purchased was not good at all.
Location The coffee pot in the room did not have a carafe so had to get dressed, go downstairs and buy some. Shower curtain has some mold on it. Took a while to check in.
Updated, clean and comfortable. Parking was a bit far away from entrance.
Clean, Clean , Clean. B'fast was incredibly good. Staff was most helpful and facilities quite.
Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room
Clean, comfortable
Pure luxury, secluded location, cleanness, everything looks and feels new, the beds are amazing, top notch quality. The guy at the front desk seemed disturbed by our presence and was not pleasant. At 5am there was no staff to be found to check us out so we left just like that. Everything was great except the front desk staff, they weren't there to check us out.
Comfortable room, friendly staff.
Comfortable and Clean
Public and private spaces were clean, lovely to look at and recently decorated. 'Manager's Reception' was geared for 8 year old boys. Battered Macaroni & Cheese shapes, potato chips and recycled lettuce. Plus use of the soda machine. HOT what we had expected. Bar was under rehab. Should look really nice by next weekend.
I love the cleanliness of the bed, the smell and softness of the sheets and coverlet. The breakfast is always delicious and a variety to choose from. Interaction with the staff was great. They were all very accommodating and friendly. I wish I could have gotten the room a little cheaper but I would not want to sacrifice the amenities.
The room is not only elegant but cozy and comfortable. I'm very pleased with the location to I-95 and the surrounding area is not too over populated. Great for an overnight stay. The place is definitely new and top notch in style. Nothing shabby, peeling or needing replaced. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
The hotel was very clean and inviting and the room was clean and comfortable. Nothing.
room in back of hotel was exposed to Amtrak travel 'ALL NIGHT'
Bad costumer service and they over charged me
This hotel is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. It is convenient to the highway and to many restaurant choices. Excellent value.
As always,the Hampton was a delight. I was overnight for a party at our Marina,and we chose this based of the Hamptons reputation. We were not disappointed.The hot tub and pool area were immaculate. The breakfast, while delicious looking, is wasted on me due to the Waffle House directly in front of the hotel. The staff was pleasant to deal with and very accommodating. Overall a great place to stay.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The questionable characters hanging about the parking lot. I'm sure some are down on their luck, but some gave me the creeps.
Good location. Crushed french fries on the floor when I first walked in. No shampoo in the shower. It was fine for one night especially because I was leaving very early, but it was very clear undesirable people use the motel for illegitimate business.
The location I had to ask for clean towels the bathroom shower and the floor wasn't cleaned good
Great price! One bed had crumbs on the sheets.
Location and cleanliness I was worried that someone could comeon while I was sleep because the door was having problrmzearkirbthat I reported to front desk that wouldn't lock.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
was cheap the rooms smelled like wet dogs
Internet service was terrible.... staff attitude and internet....
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
No towelsNoisey people Drug bust in the parking lot
Nice and quiet setting. Very convenient area. 10/10 would stay again. Nothing to report.
Only think I liked was the availability The room was out dated, sheets had stains, no water pressure, toilet didn't flush and the area was highly occupied by drug addicts.
the fast and friendly attention they give me, and how clean they have the room. none.
The location was great for us since we were there to fish. The bed was horrible; hard as a rock and we woke up aching each morning. The shower was pitiful; very low water pressure and it took forever to wash the soap out of my hair which is not especially long, but very thick. Rooms desperately needed updating.
location was close to where I had to go. no cups or coffee pot in room.
Price, location, and cleanliness. Noisy occupants in the morning.
 clean and quiet hotel none, all good.
Location Cleanliness, rude & uncaring staff. The breakfast, OJ wasn't really juice. Tasted like a powder drink. Dining area was in the tiny lobby with only two small tables. Not as pictured on their website.
Not very clean. Poor breakfast selection. Narrow hallways. No elevator
Nothing The man in office was absolutly rude and incompitant smh i will never come back
Very close to downtown. King size bed was comfortable. Free pastries, orange juice, and coffee in the morning. Vending machine stole our money, they do not refund.
The room was clean and private. Noise coming from the room above us.
PRICE! Close to restaurants and Conowingo Dam Breakfast was a little skimpy, but did the job!
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The front desk ladies were very pleasant.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
suite style - comfortable sitting area TV placement could have been closer to seating area
that breakfast in the morning staff very friendly and ready to help none
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
It is close to family & friends we are visiting, they have a nice breakfast to have, convenient to restaurants and other attractions plus the staff there is always helpful, courteous, and very friendly to guests.
The staff were very friendly. Hotel had everything you could ask for hair dryer, micro-wave, fridge, iron, ironing board, large flat screen tv, dvd player, swimming pool, exercise room, free breakfast and internet. Bedding was very clean. The only thing we did not like was that we booked a non-smoking room but the room smelled pretty bad of cigarette smoke. Not sure why but once you were in the room for a while you kind of got used to it.
The lady at the front desk was amazing. She was kind enough to mask our rooms odor with a pleasing mist. The following morning we were delighted by our complimentary breakfast. The attendant was so kind and full of information about local attractions. We were forced to take a smoking room. Two of our party are suffering from respiratory illness after sleeping in the toxic den.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The hotel was booked so they did not honor our double queen request.. one of us had to sleep on the couch. And we they had just changed to a non smoking hotel, however our room smelled like smoke. 'Open the window/spray fabreeze. Can you say Compensation?
We stay here as it is close to both of our children and granddchildren and we have had a great experience staying there. That they still have smoking rooms
We requested a non smoking room & got a previous smoking room. we were told that it had been converted. Well it stilled smelled like smoke. For a non smoker, that's a deal breaker. We were traveling & this was supposed to be a rest... (not so much)
Location was great for business The room was a little on the warn side.
Nice big, complete room. Friendly and helpful staff. Included amenities were nice. Clean hotel with lots of parking. Problem with the Hot Tub not working. We were really looking forward to relaxing in it after a day of long walking. Had to ask at the front desk and they had maintenance fix it. The tub broke again in 15 minutes, so we didn't bother asking to fix.
this is nothing i like for real The help knocked my door from 8am!!!!!!And it suppose to be dog friendly, but when I checked out they asked my dog to stay outside just because she was barking!!!!The staff is so mean and the service is so bad!!! Could not find a worse one in the world
Grumpy' Bar & Grilk was the only above average
Staff Friendly and Courteous. TV flat screen and new. Bathroom was older not in perfect condition
The staff was so accommodating and friendly Not very modern
The environment did not feel safe. We canceled and rented another hotel room for the second night. They did not have our reservation upon check in. We had a confirmation number but they would not except. A representative from booking.com handled the situation. They charged my credit card even though I believe this was already charged. The bathrooms were dirty - sink and toilet did not work. I would not recommend to families. Not even a one star.

Look: Katniss And Peeta Strike A Victory Pose
In two new posters for Catching Fire, the much-anticipated sequel to big-screen blockbuster The Hunger Games, the protagonist (Jennifer Lawrence) and her fellow victor, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), are set to embark on their victory tour after together surviving the ever-deadly gladiatorial Games.
The franchise's second installment, a Lionsgate production based on the Suzanne Collins best-selling young adult book trilogy, will show Katniss and Peeta travel through the twelve Districts of Panem, as they strive to carry on their star-crossed lovers storyline under the suspicions of President Snow (Donald Sutherland).
While there's decided lack of weaponry or warfare in the promo posters, peace does not prevail in Catching Fire, as it will feature former victors being called back into action for the 75th Annual Hunger Games, also known as the Quarter Quell.
Along with other returning principals Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket), Woody Harrelson (Haymitch Abernathy), Lenny Kravtiz (Cinna) and Stanley Tucci (Caesar Flickerman), the Hunger Games sequel added several stars to the ensemble, including Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Clafli, Jeffrey Wright and Jena Malone. Francis Lawrence is directing the sequel, taking the helms from Hunger Games director Gary Ross.
Though the film is now in post-production, fans still have many months to wait for Catching Fire: the film will hit theaters Nov. 22, 2013. So now, just slap on your Mockingjay pins and check out the first posters for Hunger Games: Catching Fire, in full size below.
Do you think the new images portray Katniss and Peeta well? Weigh in below.

OPAL Alliance invites you to become more informed on this issue. We will be adding more articles in the weeks to come. Visit often and stay current.
Walker Industries (Walker Environmental Group) is required by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA) as part of its application for the Southwestern Landfill Proposal.
This assessment will include studies, tests and reports on all aspects of social, economic and environmental impacts the landfill could have.
In preparation for the EA, Walker is preparing a document for the MOE called a Terms of Reference (ToR). It will outline all of the studies Walker will be undertaking and the areas of concern.
OPAL reminds all Oxford residents and businesses to have your say by contacting:
Walker Environmental Group
160 Carnegie Street
Ingersoll ON N5C 4A8
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
At this stage Walker is also negotiating an agreement with Zorra, Ingersoll and Southwest Oxford called a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). One of the most important aspects of this is an agreement whereby Walker will pay for a peer review of its Terms of Reference and Environmental Assessment. The participating municipalities will select independent experts to study the ToR and comment on its completeness; and to study the EA, review its quality and comment on the results.
This type of agreement is becoming commonplace where private companies are proposing landfills.

To expect my future sister in law not to announce her sudden engagement/wedding plans, less than 2 weeks after me and DP announce our last minute wedding (in May this year!)
(82 Posts)Basically me and my DP have been together for 10 years, we have 2 children together and we have finally decided to get married in summer of this year. DP's sister has been with her partner for just over the same amount of time, they also have children and have always said they would never get married/shown little interest. Two weeks ago we announced our wedding plans and all of a sudden it is plastered all over facebook (we rang everybody up to let them know personally) that they are also getting wed (in approx. 2 years time so a while off yet) and are soooo excited blah bah. Every status update since yesterday has been about their 'imminent wedding' am I being unreasonable to think it is a huuuge coincidence? Not sure if I'm reading too much into it and need some perspective.
I think because there have been similar patterns of blatant 'copying' behaviour in the past also adds to my reasons for getting tired of it all.
Maybe she's persuaded her partner to marry her to get back at you for having differing views about being vegan?
But, really truly, no one is so deranged as to actually get married just to piss someone else off.
There might be a vague sense for them that they will have diverted some attention from your wedding, which is petty and irritating. But it will only work if you get bothered by it. Which you shouldn't because it makes absolutely no difference to you whatsoever.
Rise above
i.e my DP has just completed a PhD in physics...her DP is applying to do a PhD in guess which subject?? I do sound like I'm being v petulant but it is a culmination of a lot of separate events that have made me wonder and I realise it sounds like I'm being a total cow.
If you suspect such things, then I think ignoring is the only way to go. Get on with your own plans. Smile and nod at hers in social situations.
Wise words MerylStrop
If she's copying you, it's probably because she admires you.
oh i fucking hate this ridiculous childish competiveness over weddings. it is so bloody unnecessary and serves only to rile all parties involved about what should be a time of celebration. just get over yourself. your wedding is not the only wedding to ever exist or matter, you are not the only bride. your wedding will come and go and people wiil forget all about when it was announced in relation to sil's long before you have stopped seething about it. seriously, it isn't worth winding yourself up about. relax, plan your wedding and enjoy the whole thing from start to finish. resentment only hurts you.
wow. The OP can't be 12 years old, but it does sound like a playground problem!
You must be having a wine induced joke
She's getting married because you are. Now the partner is embarking on the same phd as your partner to spite you. Yes, I would take up a phd in physics to get back at a sibling of my husband.
Also, they are now separated, whereas I have been very happily married for 15 years! (karma )
Mum47, a smug smiley face because someone's marriage broke down? That's really horrible of you.
I'm sorry but surely no-one decides to undergo a minimum of 3 years of research on very little pay just to piss of their SIL/BIL! If they do, then I hugely doubt they'll achieve the docrate.
Seriously, I do think you "over-think" the decisions your SIL and her DP make. The two you mention - marraige and a PhD - are really quite major life decisions. Do you really think they are doing it just to copy you and your DP?
Booyhoo I totally understand where your coming from. I read so many threads like this where I feel like the OP is being out of order and displaying serious bridezilla behaviour. I think the reason I am a bit 'put out' is because it's like the final nail in the coffin. There are so many other things where DP and I have both given them the benefit of the doubt and thought that we were stupid for even thinking they would 'copy' us. This has confirmed to us that there are some obvious underlying issues. Everyone who has contributed is right though, in so much as I do need to ignore it and get on with being happy for them. Bitterness just eats you up inside!
Sounds too much of a coincidence to me. And sorry larks but some people really do do things like get married, emigrate or take on huge commitments just to prove some ridiculous point. It has happened in my family where one cousin has announced their engagement only for another cousin to do the same and then start a "battle of the brides" just so they can win!
Its pathetic, but it does happen.
OP I think I would do a niceness attack! Send them a congratulations card, wish them well and go OTT on the loveliness! You cant hate someone who is out and out wonderful to you, well you can, but cant show it and that will drive her NUTS
Oh god Hyvam, you are right. It was not meant to sound like that and I take it back totally, really sorry, I would never intentionally make light of someone else's circumstances.
Yabu. I am sorry, but there is hardly much excitement about a wedding that takes place after having two kids and being together for a decade. This type of insane excitement is in my opinion young newfound love territory. Why be excited about a couple that has been living together for a long time and have kids?
I get it, that it is great for you, but honestly? It really is no big deal. 8 years ago, it would have been a big deal.
" Bitterness just eats you up inside! "
it really does, dont do that to yourself, dont taint your memories of your wedding or the lovely build up to it.
I don't agree PureQuintessence. If a couple has been together a decade and has 2 kids want to get married, I would say there is a lot to celebrate.
Congratulations OP. Enjoy planning your big day.
Forgot to add that as soon as we announced our plans I changed my fb name to e.g. 'Firstname Surname NEARLY Dp's surname' as our wedding is only 15 weeks away. She has followed the exact same format and was how we found out they were officially engaged because I noticed her name change. Yet they are planning their wedding in 2 years??
Of course it is something to celebrate, but not something to whip up a Facebook storm about.
PureQuintessence Most people's weddings aren't very exciting for other people, regardless of the time they've been together. MY DH and I got married after 4 years and 2 children, and I promise you, it was every bit as meaningful for us as it is for people who have been together a shorter time or don't have DCs.
No way it was a mere formality.
PureQuintessence...Our wedding is more than that to us. We are celebrating the end of our studies aswell. I went to uni and trained as a primary teacher after our first child was born (we were only 20 when we became parents) and DP has been an eternal Physics student for 10 years. He has just handed his thesis in and now applying for his dream job. This involves us moving away from all of our family so that's why we have planned it this way. Our wedding is like a big party to us and we have been saving up for a long time so perhaps that's why it feels like such a big deal.
Jeez, those vegan physicists are the pits. I live next door to a houseful of them and I swear they copy every move I make. I put out the bins the evening before bin day - five minutes later, there they are, trundling their wheelie bin around as if they'd just thought of it themselves.
I'm with purequintessence, if it's 10 years in I just don't appreciate the drama. Who cares if someone else in the family also wants to get married? Be happy, not childish.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, take it as a compliment.

Accommodations, Modifications, and Differentiating Instruction to Promote Student Independence Presented by: Lori Dehart KEDC
Today's Agenda Review Terms & Concepts ` SDI/SAS Differentiated Instruction UDL Accommodations Modifications
Today's Agenda (continued) Discuss How to Fade Accommodations Practice Review a case study
Today's Outcome Gain knowledge and skills to train staff how to fade accommodations
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) Section 300.347 on IEP content, IDEA – There should be: "... a statement of the program modifications or supports for school personnel that will be provided for the child – To advance appropriately toward attaining the annual goals; To participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities; and To be educated and participate with other children with disabilities and nondisabled children in the activities described in this section." Section 300.342 of IDEA also states that the IEP must be in effect at the beginning of each school year so that each teacher and provider is informed of "the specific accommodations, modifications, and supports that must be provided for the child in accordance with the IEP."
Implementing and Lesson Planning High Expectations Plan for all Planning for individual needs
High Expectations In order to participate with success in the general curriculum, students with disabilities, as appropriate, may be provided additional supports and services, such as: Instructional supports for learning based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) which foster student engagement by presenting information in multiple ways and allowing for diverse avenues of action and expression Instructional accommodations (Thompson, Morse, Sharpe & Hall, 2005) changes in materials or procedures which do not change the standards but allow students to learn within the framework of the Common Core. Assistive technology devices and services to ensure access to the general education curriculum and the Common Core State Standards.
Plan For All Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Provide multiple means of representation Provide multiple means of action and expression Provide multiple means of engagement The principles of UDL align with the purpose and intent of accommodations.
Plan For All UDL It does this by providing options for: Presenting information and content in different ways (the "what" of learning) Differentiating the ways that students can express what they know (the "how" of learning) Stimulating interest and motivation for learning (the "why" of learning)
Universal Design The design of the instructional materials and activities that makes the learning goal achievable by individuals with a wide difference in their abilities to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, understand English, attend, organize, engage, and remember. Built in, not added on! Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST)
Differentiated Instruction Differentiated Instruction is an instructional concept that maximizes learning for ALL students— regardless of skill level or background. www.differentiatedinstruction.com
Teachers might believe that, if they are using differentiated instruction or Universal Design for Learning (UDL), they do not need to provide accommodations for students with disabilities.
Planning for Individual Needs consideration of individual student needs in relation to the disability. Analysis of expectations for all students will further guide the anticipated need(s) the student will have in preparation, participation, and application of skills included within the learning target for all.
Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) SDI in its simplest form is "what the teacher does" to instruct, assess, and re-teach for the student to make progress in the general curriculum.
If instruction is required for students to benefit from a material, resource, aid, strategy or service, it should be described as specially designed instruction.
Supplementary Aides and Services (SAS) in its simplest form is "what the student needs" in order to advance appropriately toward attaining their annual goal(s), be involved and make progress in the general curriculum, participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities and be educated with non-disabled peers.
If the student requires specific materials, resources, aids, strategies or services to gain access to the general education curriculum, it should be described as a supplementary aid and service.
Differentiating SDI and SAS Keep in mind that many of the instructional strategies and supports suggested can be both the SDI and SAS
Instructional Strategies and Materials for Accessing the Kentucky Core Academic Standards: Pages 33-39
Problems (Fuchs & Fuchs) Accommodations not routinely provided When they are provided, teachers do not know how to select accommodations Most accommodations randomly selected Accommodations not matched to student need
Five essential steps for selecting, administering, and evaluating accommodations
Five essential steps for selecting, administering, and evaluating accommodations: Expect students to participate in assessments and achieve grade-level academic content standards. Learn about accommodations for instruction and assessment. Select accommodations for instruction and assessment for individual students. Administer accommodations during instruction and assessment. Evaluate and improve accommodation use.
Step 1: Expect Students to Participate in Assessment
The law: No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) "… the participation in such assessment of all students [Sec. 1111 (3) (C) (i)]. (The term "such assessments" refers to a set of high-quality, yearly student academic assessments.) The reasonable adaptations and accommodations for students with disabilities—as defined under Section 602(3) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act—necessary to measure the academic achievement of such students relative to state academic content and state student academic achievement standards [Sec. 1111 (3) (C) (ii)]."
Step 2: Learn About Accommodations for Instruction and Assessment Accommodations are commonly categorized in four ways: presentation response setting timing and scheduling
Adaptations Accommodations Do not fundamentally alter or lower expectations or standards in instructional level, content or performance criteria. Changes are made in order to provide equal access to learning and equal opportunity to demonstrate what is known. Grading is same Modifications Do fundamentally alter or lower expectations or standards in instructional level, content or performance criteria. Changes are made to provide student meaningful & productive learning experiences based on individual needs & abilities. Grading is different
Though educators often confuse the terms accommodations and modifications, the terms should not be used interchangeably.
Accommodations Assumptions Allow the student to earn a valid score, not necessarily an optimal score Produce a differential boost A single accommodation is not valid or beneficial for all students A student may need more than one accommodation Testing accommodations and instructional accommodations should be similar
Step 3: Select Accommodations for Instruction and Assessment for Individual Students
Selecting Accommodations Document Accommodations on a Student's IEP or 504 Plan Consider Student characteristics Involving students in selecting, using, and evaluating accommodations Prior accommodations use Accommodations for instruction vs assessment
Instructional Accommodations Supports provided at the beginning of the instructional process are designed to help students' first experience, learn, and practice a new skill. The long term purpose of instructional accommodations or other early supports is to ultimately help the student learn to become as fluent and as independent as possible in performing that skill.
Instructional Accommodations should incorporate a scaffolded fading process that provides much more support early in the learning process as skill acquisition is just beginning.
For example, if a student has a certain type of visual processing difficulty, he or she may need (for some years) to use a straight edge to guide visual tracking while reading, but eventually learns to perform the actual reading task with full independence to the extent of his or her capability. At the point of testing, this student no longer has a person holding the tracking tool or reading the passage to him or her. This has become the independent responsibility of the student; yet remaining student needs for support are still being met. Independent use of the visual tracking tool has become the least intrusive accommodation for the student at this point.
Assessment Accommodations When used properly, appropriate assessment accommodations remove barriers to participation in the assessment and provide students with diverse learning needs an equitable opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.
Assessment Accommodations Assessment accommodations should be those accommodations that are the least intrusive accommodations possible to meet the needs of the student while allowing the maximum level of independence possible for that student.
Assessment Accommodations Assessment accommodations represent the current balance point the instructional fading process has achieved. Assessment accommodations, therefore, represent the highest point of independent skill acquisition that has been achieved with that student to date through the instructional process.
Assessment Accommodations Assessment accommodations do not necessarily represent the instructional end point, but they do represent a point in time that lies beyond the earliest phases of skill acquisition. Some skill independence should be seen if instruction has been effective.
Teams must remember to carefully consider long term independence and thoughtfully design the process of fading supports when choosing and planning instructional methods.
The key IS finding the right balance of supports for a given student and actively, consistently, and constructively supporting the growth of student independence.
Step 4: Administer Accommodations During Instruction and Assessment
Implement, evaluate, and adjust the adaptation. Fade the accommodations when possible
Instruction How to use and apply the accommodation to their learning explicit (directly taught), systematic (sequenced so that skills build on one another, not left to incidental learning), scaffolded (supported instruction that is gradually withdrawn as students become more proficient) and modeled (teacher models both the task/skill and the thought processes to complete the task/skill)
So how do you fade an accommodations? Identify the process that will be used to fade Identify criteria that will indicate that the accommodation can be faded (I.e., 80% accuracy over three days) Implement the accommodation 1. Teach skills needed for the student to access and use the accommodation Collect data 1. Use of the accommodation 2. Effectiveness of the accommodation Fade the accommodation as planned
Fading A strategy for BUILDING skills while fostering and teaching Independence
Fading is a part of learning New Skills: Direct instruction Support Decreasing or eliminating the supports
Fading means to "gradually disappear" We teach or are taught We support or are supported We fade or are able to complete the task without support We use that newly acquired skill to build the next one
Fading means reducing Type of support Level of support Frequency of support Intensity of support
Keep in mind… Specific methods used in fading will vary, depending on the type of accommodation provided.
Accommodations/Modifications All range from least restrictive to most restrictive least restrictive to most restrictive
Accommodation Journal Documenting all of the following: Accommodations used by the student in the classroom and on tests Test and assignment results when accommodations are used and not used Student's perception of how well an accommodation "works" Effective combinations of accommodations Difficulties of accommodations use Perceptions of teachers and others about how the accommodation appears to be working
Metacognative Annotations to Improve Writing My student with executive functioning deficits does not understand how to recognize what he is thinking while he is reading. Give the student a copy of the article with thinking stems and lines in the margin where I want him to think. Evaluate depth of each annotation using a rubric. Move from giving him thinking stems and lines, to just lines, then to nothing.
Fading: Intensity Level of Grouping Teacher/Student One-on-One Teacher Small Group Teacher Whole Group Peer Small Group/Cooperative Group Individual
Fading: Level of Prompt Hand over Hand: Doing the skill with the student Talk and Help: Verbally explain each step as you are doing it with the student Talk and Show: Explain steps while you demonstrate first then guided practice Talk and Point: tell and point to each action or steps as needed Talk only: tell your student what to do Observe: watch and reinforce

In kindergarten, Michelle's teacher found she needed to frequently repeat the directions for any activity as Michelle was often not listening carefully when they were first given. (input A) The teacher also frequently paired Michelle with a diligent worker once seatwork activities began second semester. (level of support A) Sometimes Michelle did not finish her seatwork, so her teacher allowed her to take it home to complete and return the next day. (time A) Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
In first grade, Michelle began receiving speech/language services for articulation errors. It was also found that Michelle had minor auditory processing difficulties. Her therapist decided to pre-teach some concepts that would be introduced on the following day, hoping that this would improve her listening skills. (input A) Michelle was purposefully placed next to students with excellent attending skills, as she tended to be quite "chatty" during seatwork. (level of support A) Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
Sometimes Michelle's teacher had her come to the front of the room to hold the pointer during large group lessons as this appeared to aid in focusing on the key parts of the lesson, rather than distracting to extraneous details around her. (participation A) Michelle was noticeably slower than her peers in finishing any written assignment, so her teacher often sent homework to finish and return so Michelle would not miss recess or other fun activities, trying to finish assignments. (time A) Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
In second grade, Michelle's reading decoding skills were not up to her peers. Adult classroom volunteers often worked with her to reinforce previous skills (flash card drill, extra oral reading time with adult corrections and quizzes: who, what, where, when). (level of support A ) and (input A ) Due to her slow acquisition of phonics, Michelle's teacher decided to reduce the number of spelling words she would study each week from 15 to 10, although the words Michelle learned were the same as her peers. Quanity (Number) Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
In math, Michelle often grasped the concepts readily, so her teacher had her complete less worksheets before taking a test to demonstrate mastery of the concept. (Quantity A) This bought some extra time, her teacher explained, for Michelle to practice her handwriting with additional worksheets, as she still took an extraordinarily long time producing letter formations. (Quantity A) The pre-teaching begun in first grade continued for new concepts, and was believed to be helping Michelle. (Input A) Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
By the end of third grade, Michelle was evaluated for special education services as a student with a learning disability and found to be eligible in written language. Her math skills were found to be well above her peers, while her reading skills were found to be at 2.1 grade level. All previous accommodations were found to be helpful and were incorporated into her IEP. Additionally, Michelle was now to be taught keyboarding, and allowed to produce most written work at the keyboard due to her poor fine motor skills. This often required her to take work home to produce on a home computer. Her teacher also decided that… Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
…Michelle's work group (3 students) would produce a play to illustrate concepts learned in a social studies lesson, rather than a written product. (Other groups wrote reports, constructed a diorama, and produced a video skit). Although this was an acceptable alternative, her teacher decided to list this accommodation on Michelle's IEP so future teachers would be aware of this need. Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
Name which of the 9 categories are represented: Remember what worked! Reading seatwork time: sat next to high achievers Math seatwork time: small # practice problems Large group work, where new concepts are introduced: preteach key concepts before lesson Written language tasks: used keyboarding Social Studies Report: produced a play Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
Her accommodations were listed as: Reading seatwork time: level of support Math seatwork time: quantity Large group work, where new concepts are introduced: input Written language tasks: output Social Studies report: output Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
By sixth grade, Michelle was participating in an after-school homework club where adult volunteers helped her to plan task approach for long assignments, and helped her to complete most work with one on one assistance. (level of support A) (input A) (difficult A or B depending on whether Michelle was completing the tasks fundamentally herself or whether the adult was essentially doing the work) Her teacher found pre-teaching no longer as helpful for Michelle, and speech language services were no longer found necessary by her IEP team. Graphic organizers were extensively used by this teacher, and found to be quite helpful for Michelle. (input A) Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History
Michelle's IEP team found the reading level of the texts well beyond her skill, despite extensive continued remediation for reading difficulties. Michelle's teacher decided to try text-on- tape and text-on-CD with Michelle, as she grasped the concepts better this way than reading the text alone. (input A) She also found that choral-responding techniques, every-pupil response techniques (participation A) allowed Michelle, and her classmates, to focus better during whole group instruction. Her teacher also began PALS teams for social studies and science text reading, and found higher achievement and time on task outcomes. (input A) (level of support A) and (participation A) (output A)
Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History In eighth grade, Michelle was found to be unable to complete written tests on concepts very well. Orally, she knew the material, but somehow in the writing task, even with keyboard responses allowed, she was unable to demonstrate mastery in concept-laden work. Her teachers agreed to try oral testing in the RSP classroom, although this often meant her testing could not occur until later that day due to scheduling constraints. To their astonishment, Michelle's motivation and achievement skyrocketed! (level of support A) and (input A) and (output A) and (time A)
Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History By September of tenth grade, unfortunately Michelle had now begun to associate with known gang members, and her counselor became concerned. Although she still maintained some earlier friendships, she did not "seem to be the same child any more," her parents stated. Parent conferences occurred, and it was agreed that counseling would be a good idea for Michelle. A referral to a local clinic was made at parent request. During those sessions, her counselor became aware of low self-esteem issues related to her incomplete understanding of her learning profile. (Although depression was suspected, after several sessions, Michelle's counselor decided this did not apply.)
Activity: Michelle's Accommodation History Demystification sessions about her learning profile were conducted, and Michelle and her counselor decided to approach the school staff to discuss the feasibility of a school-wide program, such as the Learning Strengths Seminars. Family therapy sessions were conducted, and Michelle has discontinued her association with gang-involved youth. Michelle is interested in getting a job, she stated. Her family and other IEP team members will be meeting to develop a transition plan soon.

Celebrating Agents of Asian Ancestry: Fred Wong
Frederick Wong shares his experience as an FBI Special Agent of Asian ancestry.
Video Transcript
My name is Frederick Wong, I entered on duty in 1982 in September through the San Francisco division, and I retired in July of 2007 as a legal attaché out of Jakarta.
I always wanted to be an FBI agent or in law enforcement. I used to every Sunday with my parents, 8 o'clock on Sundays, watch The FBI with Efram Zimbalist Jr. I still remember those days of watching TV.
Back in those days, you went back to your office of hiring for six months, so I went back to San Francisco, gained some on-the-ground experience working reactive, then white-collar crime matters. I was then transferred to Seattle, Washington in 1984, where I was assigned to the reactive squad, and one of the first cases I was assigned to by my supervisor was Tony Ng, or Wai Chiu Ng, murder case in which he murdered 13 gamblers in Seattle, Washington and was a fugitive. I still recall my supervisor at the time calling me into the office and saying it takes—because Tony was Chinese and I am of Chinese ancestry—it takes a Chinese to capture a Chinese.
So, I was assigned the case and that was primarily my case for 18 months where I just followed leads and spoke to a lot of people in Chinatown. Tony Ng by that time had become one of the FBI's Top Ten Fugitives. I finally, through leads and speaking to a lot of people, narrowed down his location to Calgary, Canada. Myself and the Seattle Police Department went to Canada, went to Calgary and captured him, arrested him, brought him back to Seattle, Washington where he stood trial.
I wanted to be—we're all hired as my other colleagues that I've mentioned, we are all hired as special agents. Not as an Asian special agent or a female special agent, but we're special agents there to do the job.
It's the greatest job in the world, as my colleagues have mentioned. You meet the greatest people. When people ask me to describe it, it might be a little bit different. I describe it as fun. I had the most fun in my life. It was hard work, it was difficult work, long hours, but at the end of the day because of the agents that we work with and support it was the best job. The best cadre of people. With the backgrounds that everyone had, I think everyone contributed to the mission.
