...behavior intervention support plan (BIP). Sean is a severely emotionally challenged high school student. He has had an IEP for the majority of his school years and has had a BIP ever since he transitioned into high school. The MDT’s hope is that a successful BIP will rectify all of Sean’s negative classroom behavior and allow him to show positive academic growth for the remainder of his school years. In 1997 Congress amended the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The only approach which considered the behavioral aspect within the law was the positive behavioral interventions and supports. These interventions utilized both functional assessment and positive proactive approaches or methods to promote good behavior ("School wide," 2013). In the past students with disabilities were not included in all the available educational opportunities because of their inability to control their inappropriate behaviors. In 2004, IDEA was amended a second time due to congressional realization that positive behavior intervention support helps prevent exclusion and improve academic results ("School wide," 2013). Now, positive behavior interventions and supports promote positive school environment for all students across all school settings not just in the area of students with disabilities. Briefly looking at positive behavior interventions and supports there are three levels of intervention used for implementation. Those levels consist of level 1 primary or universal prevention...

...nonlinear programming problem, which is beyond the scope of this book.) The mathematical model for integer programming is the linear programming model (see Sec. 3.2) with the one additional restriction that the variables must have integer values. If only some of the variables are required to have integer values (so the divisibility assumption holds for the rest), this model is referred to as mixed integer programming (MIP). When distinguishing the all-integer problem from this mixed case, we call the former pure integer programming. For example, the Wyndor Glass Co. problem presented in Sec. 3.1 actually would have been an IP problem if the two decision variables x1 and x2 had represented the total number of units to be produced of products 1 and 2, respectively, instead of the production rates. Because both products (glass doors and wood-framed windows) necessarily come in whole units, x1 and x2 would have to be restricted to integer values. Another example of an IP problem is provided by the prize-winning OR study...

...Control Architecture and Algorithms of the Anthropomorphic Biped Robot Bip2000 Christine Azevedo and the BIP team INRIA - 655 Avenue de l’Europe 38330 Montbonnot, France ABSTRACT INRIA [1] and LMS [2] have designed and realized an anthropomorphic legged robot, BIP2000 (fig.1). A planar version achieves walking, and the whole robot is able to keep its balance on one foot while moving. The purpose of this paper is to present the principles and the architecture of the robot control we have used. After having presented the robotic system, and the software architecture, we will detail the principles of the robot control. We will finally present implementation issues and experimental results. Keywords: Robot Control, Biped Robots, Walking Machines. 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM The design of the robot was inspired from the human anthropometric data and his dynamic capabilities. We recall here only the main characteristics of BIP2000, the reader being referred to [5] and [9] for more details. Fig1. The Biped Robot BIP2000 Fig2. BIP without Pelvis 1.1 Mechanical Structure of BIP2000 Designed by the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Solides of Poitiers [2], the robot has 15 active joints (fig.3). It is able to walk forward thanks to the rotation of the ankles, knees and hips allowing the flexion/extension of the biped in the sagittal plane (fig.4). The ability of changing direction is given by the trunk, the pelvis and the 2 hips internal/external rotations. For the lateral equilibrium...

...Classroom Management Plan: CALMM CLASS 9th-12th grade Kristin Guffey I currently teach at Soddy Daisy High School in the CALMM Class. CALMM stands for Coaching All Mentoring and Modeling. I teach social skills to high functioning autistic high school students. I have 12 students in my class. I have 3 girls and 9 boys in my classroom. There ages are from 14-18 years old. In my class students are instructed to walk into the room and sit at their assigned seats at the big tables in the middle of the room. If they need materials at their individual desks along the wall, they raise their hands to get permission. Usually students enter one or two at a time, due to their varied schedules. Students each have a desk for their supplies, backpacks, etc. They only have what is needed for the time being on the tables in the middle of the room. This prevents them from getting their things in others' way and arguing about stuff on the table. The room is not large, but there is plenty of walking space around the tables and desks. Usually there are only one or two people moving at a time. My desk is in the corner where I can see everyone, and the educational assistant’s desks are in the other corner where they can see everyone as well. My computer is in the corner by my desk, where it is not vulnerable to students messing with it. A book shelf with curriculum materials is along the wall behind my desk. It is accessible to my educational assistants and I. Students may get things...

...The purpose of this paper is to provide information for practitioners using observation for special education evaluations, including initial and re-evaluations, functional behavioral assessments (FBA), and monitoring IEP (Individualized Education Program) and BIP (Behavior Intervention Plan) progress. Observational procedures for research purposes are often more demanding and these suggestions are for practitioners and not meant to meet a research standard. Collecting data involves a variety of techniques, including both direct and indirect methods. Examples of indirect data collection include interviews, record review, and examination of permanent work products. This booklet focuses on observational data, which is a direct method of data collection. When collecting information, it is important to use multiple sources and methods, and to triangulate the data collected. No one method stands alone. Behavior always occurs in a context, and observing in that context is critical for defining and understanding the behavior. Observations may also help to identify the antecedents (what happens before the target behavior) and consequences (what happens after the target behavior) so that meaningful behavioral interventions can be developed. The data we collect during systematic classroom observations is used as a baseline, and/or present level of performance for an IEP. We might also use the data to evaluate whether or not an intervention is working. Observation is one...

...2011 HANDBOOK For project and construction management – Fundamental concepts “Project coordination” From tender to 5 years inspection - Construction Management - final version Københavns Erhvervsakademi and VIA University College, Horsens August 2010 00. Introduction 00 Introduction This handbook is primarily intended for the use by students in their final semester of the constructing architect education - specializing in construction management. Construction management aims at a future career as a construction or project manager working for a contractor. The handbook will also be useful as a guide for small and medium sized contractors. The handbook is a joint venture between lecturers in construction management at VIA University College in Horsens (Vibeke Kragh, Benny Olsen, and Henrik Kopp) and KEA - Københavns Erhvervsakademi (Eva Weincke, Kaj Torben Hansen, Benny Lennart Bay, Anders Christensen and Lone Lykke Larsen). Consequently, the handbook will contain requirements for documentation and other examples that are not necessarily relevant to contractors, but are deemed relevant for students. The handbook is based on practical examples from a fictive contractor. In this context, relevant aspects from ‘real-life’ contractors will be included. The booklet is based on project coordination showing the progress in the construction process. The sections follow project phases from tender to handing over - in a main contractor contract. As turnkey...
