I haven't heard the news or saw any advertisement in Bahria Town about the official opening of Datchi Shoes but it is active now and they opened it quietly without advertisement though. Its official opening is due and it will held on Sunday, 15th April. So, perhaps they will make their advert game strong in a day or two because I didn't see any road streamers or any other advertisement to attract customer's attention.
I visited Jasmine Mall today where I noticed that Datchi shoes is opened and I took the pictures of their shop. As it can be seen in the above pictures, one side is allocated for men's collection and the other side is for women. For the time being, the collection of products is limited, you can only get all the range of footwear but later on maybe after its official opening other leather products will also be available.
Datchi shoes are located at ground floor of Jasmine Mall, adjacent to Ideas by Gul Ahmed. The location is same where Castillo was opened and then closed. And if you want to know more about Datchi Shoes then click here.
Opening time: 12:00 PM.
Closing time: 11:00 PM.

Who Am I?
I am a shard of God;
I am all powerful
I am beautiful;
both inside and out
I am knowledge;
I teach others what I have learned
I am kindness and good;
I love all of God's children,
as We are all One
I am empowered by God
to be all that I believe I can be
I am body, spirit, soul;
I am more than just a body.
I am experience;
I know pain, illness, depression, fear, and despair.
For how can I truly appreciate being painless,
free from dis-ease,
know boundless joy,
unconditional love, confidence,
and One-ness with God until
One experiences the opposite?
I experience the pain right now
So that I can appreciate the lack of it.
I am special;
I am strong enough to be special.
Life is a vivid experience for me,
for I have been given the opportunity to experience
ALL of life and to cry with joy when I
experience the opposites, whether they be
pain or joy.
May you enjoy a painless day,
On Being There are three basic wisdoms in the Universe. They are: 1. We Are All One 2. There's Enough. 3. There's Nothing We Have To Do. If you decide that "we are all one," you would cease treating each other the way you do. If you decided that "there's enough," you would share everything with everyone. If you decided that "there's nothing we have to do," you would stop trying to use "doingness" to solve your problems, but rather, move, and come from, a state of being which would cause your ex perience of those problems to disappear, and the conditions themselves thus evaporate. This is perhaps the most important truth of all for you to understand at this stage in your evolution. Remember this always, and make it your mantra: There's nothing I have to have, there's nothing I have to do, and there's nothing I have to be, except exactly what I'm being right now. This does not mean that "having" and "doing" will be eliminated from your life. It means that what you experience yourself having or doing will spring from your being--not lead you to it. When you come from "happiness," you do certain things because you are happy--as opposed to the old paradigm in which you did things that you hoped would make you happy. When you come from "wisdom," you do certain things cause you are wise, not because you are trying to get wisdom. When you come from "love," you do certain things because you are love, not because you want to have love. Everything changes; everything turns around, when you come from "being," rather than seeking to "be." You cannot "do" your way to "being." Whether you are trying to "be" happy, be wise, be love--or be God--you cannot "get there" by doing. Here is the Divine Dichotomy. The way to "get there" is to "be there." Just be where you choose to get! It's that simple. There's nothing you have to do. You want to be happy? Be happy. You want to be wise? Be wise. You want to be love? Be love. That is Who You Are in any event! You are My Beloved. -From Conversations With God, Book III Blessings, Liz}}

"My physical transformation was nothing short of amazing. I feel like Anne engineered the rebuilding of my body from the inside-out. I used to wear XL shirts, now I wear medium. My waist size reduced from 36″ to 32″. And this was a steady, gradual change over a 4 month period."
My main reason and goal for signing up for the Peaks Coaching Group Nutrition Program with Anne Guzman was to drop a few stubborn pounds and to reduce the frequency and likelihood of getting dropped during the intense group rides here in the Appalachian foothills of Pennsylvania. What I received was a healthy and gradual 40 pound weight loss (from 200 lbs. to 160 lbs. on my 5'10" farm-boy frame) while experiencing major performance enhancement and superior recovery times after extremely taxing workouts.
I receive much more gratification and satisfaction from eating proper, appropriate foods under Anne's guidance and direction, than when I ate whatever I wanted. Growing up in Central PA is a junk food lover's dream. This fact, combined with being told by my early distance running coach that I could eat basically anything I wanted because of the amount of exercise I do (not good advice in hindsight), resulted in eating behavior and lifestyle choices that left me trapped in my "pudgy purgatory".
Anne evaluated my diet and exercise over three days, thoroughly discussed all options, and established a nutrition plan that was easy to follow and stick with it. She provided recipes and food choices that not only gave my body the optimal fuel it needed, but also satisfied my appetite with significantly fewer calories. Anne not only taught me what to eat, but also how to time meals for maximum performance and benefit. My physical transformation was nothing short of amazing. I feel like Anne engineered the rebuilding of my body from the inside-out. I used to wear XL shirts, now I wear medium. My waist size reduced from 36″ to 32″. And this was a steady, gradual change over a 4 month period. My energy level and positivity have increased substantially.
I turned 40 this year. Anne and the PCG Team helped me achieve several of my "milestone goals". Although I do not race, I earned a seventh place finish at a local Gran Fondo Metric Century that featured two high profile professional cyclists. Last year (at 200 lbs. with poor nutrition, I was dropped from the main group with ten miles to go and eked out a top thirty finish). The highlight of the year was achieving a Boston Qualifier Finish in November, despite minimal marathon training. Prior to this year, my best marathon finish was just under 3:49. I was able to successfully complete 3 marathons over a four week period, with improvement each time, combined with ridiculously smooth recovery compared to my previous nineteen marathon finishes. With my Boston Qualifier Finish, I was 25th overall and won my age group with a sub 3:15 time.
Anne has helped me build a new foundation that offers so much potential and opportunity for next season and beyond. While a definite and serious commitment is required on behalf of the athlete, anyone who follows Anne's guidance will greatly benefit from it.
My deepest gratitude goes out to Anne and the Peaks Coaching Group for the exceptional service and results that they provide!

The Smoke Persians Web Forum (Message Board) is open to anyone with a true interest in the Smoke Persians. Feel free to ask any question you may have regarding these stunning cats! Meet other breeders and owners of Smoke Persians - make new friends!
Hi Dorothty,
Are you having some problem to view pages at the Smoke Persian Web Site, URL http://www.smokepersians.com ?
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Replying to:
What do you click on to see the sites you show of smokes?
I cant find where. Its not clear as to where.
Hello Katherine,
I am no expert in Cameos, but will try to respond something. I forwarded your question to the smoke-persian list, and this is how one breeder described the difference between Red Smoke and Cameo:
>>> The smoke vs. Cameo has to do with the proportionate length of color vs. white root on each hair shaft.
A smoke (of any color) as 25% white roots and 75% color tipping.
A Cameo has 50% white roots and 50% red color tipping.
This should appear on each hair all over the body, usually when in full coat (30 seconds in February).
And a Shell Cameo, while we're at it, has 75% white roots and 25% red color tipping.<<<
What you ask about small amount of tipping in Red Smokes may be in reverse coat period. The color of a Smoke is also something that developes in stages. A kitten or a young Smoke often have a lighter color of the coat than what they will have as adults.
I have no personal experience of breeding Cameos, but I do know that breeding Smokes is a challenge. We all learn by experience, and by time. Hopefully some other Smoke breeder will comment your post and help clarify the Red Smoke vs. Cameo.
Hi Smoke breeders,
I have never seen a Red Smoke in person.I have seen many Black and Tortie Smokes that have clear color and white undercoat. From what I read Red Smoke should look like a Red but have the white undercoat. Then with less tipping become Shaded Cameo and Shell Cameo. As I study
Cameos I see many photos of Red Smoke that look like Cameo (small amount of tipping) Am I seeing a reverse
coat period? Is it difficult to know the correct color
between the three shades?

Conrad has been in Indianapolis for three days - I never advertise when he's gone because you're not supposed to put such things out in cyberspace. It's like HEY- I'm a woman alone at home- come and get me!!!!
Anyway- he's back and I had SO MANY plans for when he was gone. Some Christmas shopping for him, some closet reorganization ... and none of it really happened. I am so unbelievably stressed out ...
First of all - it's been raining in Houston for two days. When that happens you can COUNT on a 2-2.5 hour commute home. So far, it's been the truth. Also, Conrad's parents and sister and family are coming this weekend - for his dad's birthday. I THINK I've been given some things to do, but it's not really concrete- so I'm ACTUALLY not sure what I should have been doing all this time ... like making reservations, etc- and it doesn't really matter because I have had ZERO time to do it. I am so busy at work with my special project I don't have time to even go on at lunch and research such things. I'm going to have to email his mom today and tell her I've done absolutely nothing combined with Conrad being gone, the rain and work ... and I'm so sorry about that. The thing about Conrad being gone- I'm scared to be alone in the house and I don't sleep. So let's ad ZOMBIE to the mix ... I need things like coffee and toilet paper for the guests and haven't done that either. I've been getting home so late, Blanca has had accidents in the house. I mean I feel like I am at the end of my rope here - there has been no relaxing, no closet cleaning, no girl movies, no ANYTHING for these three days. Just stress, stress, stress.
Conrad called last night and I told him everything that has been going on. Thankfully, he can help me get to the store, Blanca should have no accidents today and if there is rain, I may pull off the road and just go shopping. I did a quick SCAN of the closet at least and I own exactly ONE pair of long pants. How pitiful is THAT?! I do, however have four new bras and five new pairs of underwear. I'm pretty sure they frown on that kind of attire at the office, but they DID say we will have casual Friday's in December- and how much more casual can you get?

Well, Victorian Transvestites…the story of Fanny and Stella, otherwise known as Frederick Park and Ernest Bolton who sadly ended up arrested as 'he – she' ladies.
The two lived in Wakefield St, Regent Square, where on most nights, they and others would dress up as women before going out to the theatre and generally have a good time which was rather risky or risque or both.
When the case came to court, Newspapers had a field day, reporting on what silk their dresses were made from, the frills on their handkerchiefs and how stubbly their chins were.
However they had been arrested only a year before in 1870 and charged with conspiring others to commit unnatural offences at the Strand Theatre.
When they appeared at Bow Street Magistrates Court the next morning. still in their evening dresses, huge crowds were waiting outside to see this unusual spectacle. You can only imagine the conversations that were had at tea time! The case was seen as a farce by many and Fanny and Stella were let off.
One year later and the two men found themselves sitting in the dock of the Court of the Queens Bench in London, on trial for something they hoped and believed would help towards ending the vicious anti gay laws of that time but they acquitted. It is possible that one of their fathers being a judge may have helped their case…

Outstanding Locations
Fractionals or hall clubs have sprung up in exclusive, world-class hotel destinations comprehensive. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Puerta Vallarta and Mexico are in demand locations.
In the U.S., the oldest fractionals were in great ski areas out west, peculiarly Colorado where material estate was so high-priced that wholly-owned 2d homes were out of the interview for furthermost nation. Eventually they implant to north ski areas. Since afterwards fractionals have begun attending in golf-oriented communities like Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and favorite coast states like-minded Florida.
Some of the best fashionable fractionals can be found in Jupiter, FL; Aspen Highlands, Bachelor Gulch, and Aspen Snowmass, CO; Lake Tahoe, CA; and Whistler, British Columbia. Fractionals situated in the U.S. typically tender pious entree to great airports that allows for uncomplicated transference provision.
Management by Five-Star Companies
The key to the natural event of fractionals is their professional control. Most are operated by well-respected hospitality companies agreed unanimous for their foremost resorts. Among them are Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Starwood, Intrawest and Millennium, brands agreed for their five-star employment and conveniences.
Hassle-free Ownership
Part of the appeal of fractionals is that they are totally perturbation unmarried. In element to having a personnel for personalized resource at your disposal, at a personal student house rod you never have to pressure just about repairs, keep or work. Everything is integrated in the cost and yearly fees and understood effort of by the professional organization establishment.
Appreciation Potential
To twenty-four hours here have been greatly few half hotel developments. The apply for is high. As a result, it is probable nearby will be great appreciation, a bit than the reduction that by and large occurs beside timeshares.
Real holding experts say that the outlook for finance understanding appears matchless. You can await at the totally most minuscule an hold parity against another solid estate in the holiday resort stretch in which the fragmental is placed.
To buy a fractional, you pay a one-time acquisition price tag and after a per annum reparation fee that covers all of the expenses related to with property ownership and its use and services.
What do fractionals cost? Prices change supported on the size, living and entity of the individualist assets. But best are in the $100,000-$500,000 catalogue. Keep in head that these are really top-of-the-line homes that would debt you two to five nowadays as overmuch if purchased straight-out as wholly-owned leisure homes.
Comparison of Fractionals to Timeshares
How do fractionals compare near timeshares? They truly don't. Fractionals are far more restricted and view some more than unneeded comforts and employment than timeshares. They be given to be larger homes, habitually 3 to v bedrooms. Timeshares in the main let you use for retributory one to two weeks per period. Fractionals set aside from two to 13 weeks, and those don't needfully have to be sequential weeks. Pick the weeks you deprivation.
With regard to financing, obtaining a banking company or mortgage firm debt on a timeshare is problematical. Rates are high, unheeding of how best your recognition. That's because it's a distinguished fact that supreme timeshares pick at concluded case. Conversely, botanist and security interest firms muse fractionals to be appreciating wealth and will commonly goody them like any other second-home acquisition.
Why do fractionals incline to recognize time timeshares on average depreciate? There are a two of a kind of reasons. With fractionals, much of the buyer's monetary unit goes to giant point finishes and "bricks and mortar" vs. gross revenue commissions which can be as soaring as 40%-50% beside timeshares.
Furthermore, timeshare belief have historically been deprived because of the hulking numeral of resales on the market, not to reference a eternal brook of new developments. The information is the second-string open market for timeshares has ne'er genuinely industrialized.
Conversely, in that are a limited numeral of fractionals on the souk. Most likely, that figure will kill time micro because fractionals are improved in lonesome the immensely best, most extremely happy locations. Therefore, apply for outpaces secure and grades in place understanding.
Comparison of Fractionals to Condo Hotels
Fractionals (private address clubs) be dissimilar from dwelling house hotels in that you have a set amount of event when you can use your time off environment. Condo hotels are in fact, condos situated within hotels. You can use your unit whenever you want, and locate it in the letting system of rules when not victimization it. Fractionals do not proposition property system engagement.
Fractionals run to be large than supreme condo edifice units. Most fractionals give cardinal to 5 bedrooms, time furthermost condominium building units are studios, one bedrooms or two bedrooms. Currently, most abode hotels are placed in Miami and separate encompassing cities in South Florida. Fractionals are furthermost prevailing on the West Coast, more than ever in ski areas. However, some types of true holding are chop-chop getting hold of popularity and shortly location will expected be more than of a endow cross-town the land to join the escalating call for.

I'm so happy to see someone appreciate my home town. Of course I don't remember it as I was only seven years old when I left. It's incredibly beautiful and my mom and dad rave about it. I hope to take my kids there one day and show them a part of their history. Beautiful photos.

Hear What Our Satisfied Customers Have To Say
I had Mill-City clean the carpet in my basement plus a couch. It seemed to me that both were restored to "like new" condition. I was very satisfied with the work they did and they were very professional and courteous in the house. I would and have recommend their service to others.
– Angie's List Customer, 04/9/2018
In two words: Fantastic service. Dave and his team at Mill City are truly professionals – from project initiation through completion. I truly appreciated the quick responsiveness to my inquiry, the ease of getting a quote, and the scheduling. I was running up against a deadline and Mill City made every effort to squeeze me into their busy schedule. I felt like my clean mattered even though it was a technically smaller job. Juan arrived on schedule as planned, listened to my concerns, reconfirmed the agreement, and off he went with the team to clean. I was so impressed with the results, my place looks brand new!! Honestly, the difference was so dramatic, I almost couldn't believe it. Mill City made this condo clean so easy! I sincerely recommend their carpet cleaning to anyone needing a professional, reliable, high quality service.
– Molly H., 04/21/2011
They were prompt, courteous and professional in all aspects of my contact with them. The technician was extremely thorough with special attention given to spots and high traffic areas. They moved the larger pieces of furniture to clean under them although I removed smaller items earlier to facilitate their cleaning. I was very pleased that the carpet was ready for use in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely use this service again.
– Ruth I.
We had a great experience dealing with Mill City Carpet Cleaning. The cleaners were prompt, professional and did a great job. They removed stains we could not get up and left our carpets looking fresh. High traffic areas looked brand new. They worked around our schedule and completed the job in good time. Dave (the owner) personally made sure that the job was done to our satisfaction. Price was competitive with other cleaners. I would highly recommend Mill City Cleaning.
– Christian H., 04/18/2011
The cleaning went great! They showed up on time and the results were very good!
– Mike N., 04/18/2011
Very professional, on time, did a terrific job. They were quite fast and efficient – – I highly recommend them!
– Bridget J., 03/21/2011
We had a wonderful experience with Mill City Carpet Cleaners. They responded promptly to our call and scheduled service immediately. The owner Dave and his team were very professional and accommodating. They worked around our schedule and the 3 children I was trying to get out the door. Our basement carpet had not been cleaned in the 5+ years we lived the house. The results were amazing. They were able to remove marker, paint and every type of food stain from our light colored carpet! My oldest has really bad allergies and the last company we used was terrible, the smell lingered for weeks and weeks and really irritated my son. The cleaning service we received from Mill City not only was nearly odor free, it dried faster than any other cleaning job we have had in the fast. With 3 small kids, this was a bonus. Mill City Carpet Cleaners was affordable, professional and reliable. The results exceeded expectations and we will be using them again!!
– Heather R., 03/18/2011
They returned my call in short order, quoted me a price immediately! They were able to schedule me in when I wanted them to come! They arrived promptly and were very professional. They communicated what they were going to do and in what order. They were fast and left my carpets and rugs looking better than I could have thought possible….some dirty areas that I thought probably wouldn't come clean actually turned out really nice! I was happy with the service they provided and would recommend hiring them!
– Brennan H., 09/12/2010
The carpeting in our house, after several years of high traffic from pets and kids, was starting to look a little worse for the wear. Mill City did a fantastic job coming in and making the carpets look new again. They did 4 rooms in the house and one flight of steps. They arrived as scheduled, were courteous and worked until the job was complete. I would recommend their work without hesitation and will have them back again.
– Evan R., 04/13/2010
Couldn't be happier with the results. These guys are good. I called Dave (the owner) after my friend told me about them. She couldn't stop raving about their service. Needless to say, she was right. They showed up ten minutes early, and worked diligently till they were done. They were very polite, and accommodated my every requests. I asked them to look at a stain in another room, and they removed the stain for free. If you need carpets cleaned I would highly recommend this responsive, polite, and professional company.
– Wade V.
We hired Mill City Cleaning to green clean our carpets and they did a terrific job. They were on time and called to let us know they were on their way. We asked them to call us 30 minutes prior to finishing and they did. They were timely, efficient, friendly, and did a great job with the carpets. We would hire them again.
– Jacinda D.
We had a really great experience with Mill City Cleaning for a second time! Our light-colored basement carpet was really dirty from tracking dirt in. I was really nervous the dirt wouldn't come out. They quoted me one price and there were no extra add-ons or hidden costs. The guy who cleaned my carpets was professional and got the job done quickly and flawlessly. Now the carpet looks brand new! I was really pleased with how nice our carpets look, and we will happily refer family and friends in the future. Thank you!

Houghton, Mifflin & Co. first introduced hands-on science experiments for the classroom to engage students in new ways.
"There is strong evidence that the choice of instructional materials has large effects on student learning—effects that rival…teacher effectiveness."
In "Choosing Blindly," Chingos and Whitehurst make the case for applying rigorous evaluation criteria to the selection of instructional content, based on evidence that curricula impact student achievement. The authors cite a recent federally sponsored study of the effectiveness of math curricula spanning several years. The results concluded that differences in instructional materials accounted for a difference of 0.17 standard deviations in student achievement. By way of comparison, a review of ten research papers on the impact of teacher quality found that teacher effectiveness impacted student achievement by 0.08-0.11 standard deviations.1

"Content has the most substantial impact on achievement growth."
In a study sponsored by the American Educational Research Association, Carbonaro and Gamoran examined the factors that contribute to unequal achievement outcomes for students. Focusing on high school English instruction, the authors evaluated four key aspects of instruction: "quantity of assignments, coherence of instruction, student voice in curricular and pedagogical issues, and the content of instruction." Analyzing data from over 8,000 students tracked in Grades 8–12, the researchers found that of the four instructional dimensions studied, content quality had the greatest impact on student outcomes.2

American Educational Research Journal (2002) 39: 801-827
"The positive impact of the standards-based programs on student performance was remarkably consistent."
In 2001, Riordan and Noyce examined the impact of standards-based curriculum on student achievement, relative to "traditional" instructional programs, and found statistically significant differences that favored the standards-based curriculum in nearly all dimensions of instruction. These differences were "remarkably consistent" across student demographic groups and across student ability levels. Furthermore, when controlling for other externalities, the researchers found that the differences favoring the standards-based curriculum "could not be attributed to differences in teacher qualifications nor differences in self-reported teacher instructional practice."3

When teachers, administrators, and students suggest ways to increase engagement and instructional effectiveness, we listen carefully. Once we identify the need for a new solution, we review the latest efficacy studies and standards, and define the program's goals and objectives and the specific K–12 audience it will benefit.
Educators asked for a downloadable program that lets students participate offline and online; interactive content that teachers can customize; and the ability for students and teachers to collaborate.

Our Curriculum Experts align the most current local and state curriculum standards with the typical school calendar to generate curriculum guidelines, thus providing options for covering the required material and maximizing student learning during the school year.
Learning Architects drive the instructional and pedagogical design of our content and are advocates for the students, ensuring that the content engages them and helps them master the intended skills and knowledge. Learning Architects study the most current formative research, teaching methods, and newest technology in order to determine which learning solutions and instructional technology would be most effective for the designated audience and subject.
Design Architects are skilled in graphic design, animation, user experience, and interactive design for the educational market. They optimize our content to ensure that it captures imaginations; is visually engaging, grade appropriate, intuitive to navigate; and delivers on our educational philosophy.
Curriculum Experts review our materials for accuracy and curriculum alignment, assist in copyediting, ensure that our materials fit the learning needs of the intended audience, check for and address cultural bias, and suggest activities and assignments. They review the curriculum to ensure that individual materials and tools fit together within the larger scope and sequence.
Content Engineers are web, game, and mobile app developers who take the content and optimize it to work in the chosen format. They work closely with the team to craft the content for each format and audience.
Supporting all of these functions is an expert team of content analysts, professional librarians, copyright professionals, and intellectual managers who ensure the integrity of all HMH content.
Learning Architects create content while adapting the style, word choice, and complexity level to a specific audience. Design Architects create a visual and interactive environment that engages students and enhances their understanding of the material. Our Build Studio turns the architects' vision into solutions that can be used by learners worldwide.
In-house discipline experts, instructional reviewers, and external curriculum specialists review content for domain accuracy; instructional appropriateness and effectiveness; adaptability for individual learning styles and needs; and pedagogical integrity.
We solicit and incorporate feedback to ensure that our content enables teachers to teach effectively, engages students in a learning experience that is optimized for their needs and preferences, and holds users' interest throughout the year.
The state board of education and/or school districts evaluate the proposed educational materials and may request that they be adapted to meet their specific curriculum standards. This helps ensure that our materials provide the highest quality content possible.
We ensure that all educational content, regardless of format, offers optimal learning experiences—and allows teachers to adapt the instructional content to individual student needs.
Developing content that consistently produces the desired outcomes and also meets local and state standards requires time, resources, and investing in licensing protection. To ensure our content's quality, we must protect it through copyrights and digital rights management.
We review the external and user testing results, make any updates and refinements, and then test with users again. Only after we are confident that the content will delight and engage learners, and accelerate learning, will we release it.
Developing curricula that can be adapted to meet a wide variety of curriculum standards is challenging, as every state and district has different criteria. As a national content provider, we have an expert team of content analysts, professional librarians, and correlations specialists who are well versed in these requirements so that we can:
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the Next Generation Science Standards* (NGSS) aim to ensure every student has access to an education fueled by rigorous standards. HMH shares that goal.
We collaborate with educators, authors, alignment specialists, researchers, and curriculum experts to align our content with the individual state standards and to support instruction at the specified cognitive levels.
We provide educators and administrators with professional development services that offer both high-level strategic and tactical implementation strategies to meet their state's and district's standards, and differentiated instruction strategies to meet the needs of all learners.
While much attention is focused on Common Core, efforts are underway for national standards and frameworks for other disciplines as well. Several states have adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Meanwhile, the National Council for the Social Studies released the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards. We are following these developments closely and are building next-generation instructional programs from the ground up to address these initiatives.

Personalized learning is when a teacher sees a student struggling with a concept and implements an intervention. The intervention can be as simple as assigning a child additional reading activities.
Adaptive learning is data driven. Once a student uploads his assignment, the system compares his activities and performance to those of other users and then employs an algorithm to determine which activity to assign next to help him reach his learning objectives. A true adaptive learning system doesn't merely identify a student's learning needs, but knows the likely source of said needs, and uses those insights to create a customized learning path for him.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has partnered with Knewton, a proficiency-based adaptive learning software developer, to develop adaptive learning solutions. These include our Personal Math Trainer®, Powered by Knewton, that:

Until recently, collecting and analyzing large amounts of digital information was prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Now, while ensuring appropriate attention is paid to student privacy, we can quickly and affordably analyze massive amounts of data with the help of technology. With these new capabilities, educators are using big data to:
When a student pauses, skips, or reviews a section of digital content, the system records his or her interactions. Then, once the system aggregates and analyzes the data from many students' interactions, patterns begin to emerge. We can tell which lessons result in which outcomes and can make improvements based on what we've learned.
When a student interacts with digital content over time, the system can identify the student's learning style, abilities, and preferences. Teachers can use this information to individualize instruction.
Big data lets us apply empirical evidence to education. Once we have granular, up-to-date data on the efficacy of learning experiences, we can use that data to create algorithms that will tell us what is most likely to improve a specific individual's outcome—and what will most likely work best for the whole class.
What does the future of education look like? Find out more about how big data is transforming the learning experience.

While educators have long recognized the benefits of incorporating aspects of games and game theory into the curriculum, they also know that without quality, few learning outcomes will be achieved.
Content is most effective when we start by defining its educational objectives and determining the best way to achieve them. If this includes game-like features, then we consult with child development and game strategy experts to decide which aspects of game design to incorporate, such as creating a story around the learning experience that delivers context; providing multiple chances to succeed; and using reward systems to motivate, engage, and promote resiliency.
Including actual games into our programs—and using them to generate the outcomes we want—requires a great deal of planning and formative research. Evidence suggests that games work best when we integrate them with other classroom activities that deepen students' skills and understanding, such as discussions, writing about their learning, peer tutoring, and group decision making.
According to a leading expert on game design, Jane McGonigal, "Gamers spend 80 percent of their time failing in game worlds, yet they consistently come back for more."4 When kids fail at digital games or apps, they keep trying until they succeed. This doesn't happen in our classrooms. When kids make mistakes in school, they soon get frustrated or lose confidence and give up.
Imagine what our students could accomplish if we could bring this paradigm from gaming into the classroom? We could motivate kids to overcome obstacles and enjoy acquiring new skills and knowledge.
A few examples of how we incorporate sound educational principles into games.
Provide meaning that goes beyond the game itself. The Charly & Max site teaches elementary students about money. Players earn rewards that they can use to support an actual cause.
Provide a scaffolded learning experience. Max & Ruby Science Educational Games build skills by leading kids through several levels of challenges with progressive difficulty.
Give the player a sense of their improvement. Go Math! Academy™ rewards users with points for achievements and badges for milestones.

When you pick up a book and open the cover, you know to read from the top of the first page to the bottom of the last. When you visit a new website or app, it's more challenging because you have to figure out how it works, where you are, and where to go next. Knowing this, we develop digital experiences that users intuitively understand and want to remain engaged with.
When you click, use a pull-down menu, or scroll down a web page, you control what you see and the order in which you experience it. The more intuitive the interface is to use, the more quickly you can find what you want—and the more likely you are to continue using that site or app.
We observe students and teachers as they interact with our digital experiences throughout the content design and development process. We interview users one-on-one and in focus groups. We encourage in-school trials. We test and retest our materials to ensure that every label, every button, every navigation menu, every dashboard, and every page is engaging, intuitive, and effective.
See what we learned from some typical testers here.
In May 2014, students aged 5–7 tested our new tablet-based educational platform, HMH Player.
What our testers said:
Our solutions:
HMH Player™ is a trademark of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
In January 2014, we watched as students in Grades K–3 completed two to three problem sets appropriate for their grade level.
Our solution:
Engaging students also means aligning instruction to their specific educational needs. We make every effort to provide resources to help teachers meet their diverse students' learning needs with differentiated instruction strategies.
While we design our content for the grade level at which it is most commonly taught, we also integrate suggestions for activities and scaffolds to meet the needs of students who are performing below grade level and/or have special needs. Most of our programs offer either full text audio or chapter summaries. Additionally, several of our programs include TextHelp, a feature that turns online editions into text-to-speech readers. Similarly, we provide enrichment activities to meet the needs of advanced students.
Meeting the needs of all learners also requires providing resources for students learning English. We have provided resources to support English language learners for decades and are intensifying our efforts. We recently released a new version of our comprehensive English language development program, On Our Way to English, which approaches language development through rich literature and highly visual content. Furthermore, we are working to establish a protocol of methods to assist English language learners that we will apply to all of our educational materials across disciplines.
We carefully build our educational content to present an accurate, balanced, and respectful representation of ethnic groups, genders, religions, ages, language backgrounds, and abilities. We engage teams of expert reviewers to ensure that our content avoids cultural bias and provides learners with opportunities to see themselves and their cultures in a positive light.
We serve a large and diverse marketplace. While the scale, scope, and rigor of our research are impressive, we can't test every program in every district or population group. So to answer "Will it work?" we employ various research designs and examine our programs in a variety of contexts. For example:
By executing a wide range of research, we enable districts to find studies that speak to their unique situation and determine which programs meet their specific needs.
Providing reliable and robust evidence that allows customers to evaluate program effectiveness requires dedicated resources, a methodological approach, and a clear understanding of our customers' needs. Not all efficacy research is created equal. Here's what sets our approach apart:
Objectivity: we use outside firms whose reputation relies on delivering expert, objective evaluations to conduct the vast majority of our efficacy research.
Scientific and Statistical Rigor: gold-standard efficacy research calls for the inclusion of control groups, multivariate analyses to account for externalities, and measures of statistical significance—research methodologies we employ regularly in our studies.
Portfolio Approach: at HMH, we don't rely on any single study as THE evidence of a program's success; instead, we take an iterative approach to building a portfolio of efficacy research—of various types in terms of scope and design—for our programs.
Mixed Methods: content that improves outcomes is of little value if the content is difficult to use or implement. For that reason, we gauge a program's potential for success in terms of more than just test scores; we take qualitative insights into account as well.
Consumability: we believe that the conclusions and implications from our research studies should be as accessible as possible, presented in a manner that doesn't require a Ph.D. to understand the key findings and their implications.
The ultimate measure of content quality is, of course, its instructional effectiveness. At HMH, we take our approach to evaluating that measure very seriously. Visit our Efficacy page to see a small sampling of the output those efforts have yielded.

Asking "Will it work?" begs another question, "How will it be implemented?" In order to derive the full benefit from educational technology, teachers must:
To ensure effective implementation and teachers' ongoing success, we provide in-depth professional development, product training, and support via our professional communities of practice.
We support our platforms with 24/7 technical assistance for the life of the contract. We proactively update our platforms to prevent them from becoming obsolete when a new operating software version or device is released for market-standard technology. Our Technical Support Group works tirelessly to ensure that our systems and links are functioning properly and that our digital content reflects the latest changes and updates. Our support team works to ensure that your instructional technology is performing at its best.
One of the benefits of digital content is that we can easily correct outdated information. For example, when scientists determined that Pluto wasn't a planet, we immediately revised our digital products to reflect this new information. Another advantage is that when there are technological innovations or new curriculum versions, we can offer customers updates over the lifetime of a product or throughout their contract.
Using technology to enhance the learning process requires more than just acquiring devices. Learn what it takes to be successful.
Providing students with engaging, adaptive, and effective content creates incredible opportunities—and a few challenges.
Learn what it will take to achieve the outcomes we all want, starting with some very tough questions.
What does CASE2 stand for?
CASE2 is the acronym for the process we use to develop high-quality content. It stands for Construct, Align, Smart, Engage, and Efficacy. While our process has hundreds of steps, we grouped them into these five categories.
Where can I learn more about HMH's efficacy research?
You can view a selection of our research reports here. For additional inquiries about a specific program's efficacy, or if you have questions regarding any of our studies, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Check out our website to learn more about our offerings, from educational to entertaining. Whether you're a student, a parent, a homeschooler, or just a curious reader, you'll find that our quality content extends far beyond the classroom.
How do I use the Quality Content Rubric?
Since there are no widely accepted standards or grades to evaluate content, we created a rubric to ensure that the content we develop is of the highest quality. You can use this rubric to evaluate a variety of instructional content, including ours.
How can I use the Quality Content White Paper?
Our white paper helps educators, administrators, and parents understand what quality content is — and why it is so important. You can share the white paper with policy makers, administrators, or anyone else who makes decisions about instructional content.
My school doesn't subscribe to any national assessments. Does your curriculum align to other high-stakes tests?
Yes. We provide a wide array of assessment resources for our educational programs. From ready-made tests, quizzes, and preparation resources to digital resources like ExamView that allow you to customize or build your own assessments, we can help you determine the right materials to prepare students for their high-stakes tests.
What if I don't teach Common Core Standards? Do you have materials for me?
Yes. For years we have worked with local and state educators to align content to their specific standards and will continue to do so. Visit our site to see what we offer by subject and/or grade.
Where do I send suggestions about the Content Manifesto?
We welcome your thoughts about the Content Manifesto. Please send feedback, observations, or suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
To help you make dependable judgments about the quality of content, we've created guidelines based on the standards we use.
