Modifications and accommodations Medford Middle School teachers make for students demonstrating behaviors of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
No full textPlan BThis study involves Medford Middle School teachers identifying the modifications and/or accommodations they make for children that demonstrate Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) type behaviors in the classroom setting. The teachers surveyed encompass all subjects including the Related Arts classes of band, chorus, physical education, art and family and consumer education. The six behaviors identified in the survey were taken from the DSM IV criteria for diagnosing AD/HD in children. Part one of each question was the identified behavior and how the teacher accommodated it. Part two of the behavioral question was a continuum of the level of tolerance the teacher has for each specific behavior. The continuum range from “Little Tolerance” (1) to “Some Tolerance” (3) to “Much Tolerance” (5). In addition to the six behavioral questions, the teachers were asked to respond as to what their definition of a AD/HD 4 504 Plan is and their willingness to make modifications/accommodations for a student that demonstrates AD/HD like behaviors, but does not have an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The findings of this research describe how Medford Middle School teachers utilize at least six to 20 strategies or accommodations in order to help students succeed in school. Twelve percent of teachers demonstrated knowledge of what a 504 Plan is. The last question surveyed their willingness to make modifications or accommodations without an IEP or 504 Plan directing them. The average responses by grade ranged from 2.6 (slightly less than “somewhat likely” to modify or accommodate) in eighth grade to 3.5 (slightly higher than “somewhat likely” to modify or accommodate) in fifth grade. Sixty-three percent of Medford Middle School teachers modify, accommodate or utilize behavior management strategies for teaching children that demonstrate AD/HD like behaviors

Co D, 3rd M.T.B. Bks. 1260, M.R.T.C. Camp Pickett, Va. December 28, 1942
The Bryant Service Club Bryant College Providence, R. I.
Greeting,
Thank you for a very fine and useful Christmas present. It is just what I needed. A glance at those stockings makes me feel warm all over.
Camp Pickett is not a small camp, you can very easily get lost, even after a few months stay here.
Here in the Medical Replacement Training Center, I am assigned to Company D as an assistant personnel clerk at Headquarters. In this capacity I handle service records, which is the complete history of the soldier’s Army life, correspondence, discharges, payrolls, transfers and allotments of the enlisted men.
The work is interesting and is the type I am best fitted for, as a noncombatant soldier, by reason of my Bryant training.
I had never heard of the Service Club before but am sure that you made this a pleasanter Christmas for the boys from Bryant now in the Services as you made it for me.
Best wishes, Corporal Alvin J. Connors, Jr.

Somewhere in Africa April 4th 1943 Sunday Nite
Dear Members, - Bryant Service Club,
Welcomed your nice letter at yesterday morning’s “mail-call”. Was more than glad to hear from the “student body”, now furthering their education at Bryant College. Thanks a million.
Feel as though I know each + everyone of you, your characteristics, your hobbies, yes, even the little things that happen to you, as you pass from class to class each day. This may sound somewhat fantastic’s. I suppose it is when the “chips are down”, but yet, the “class” of today at Bryant is just my “class: of yesterday ; “all” swell + regular girls + boys. That’s my starry introduction to each + everyone of you, to say “thanks” for your thoughtfulness. Now, that I am at least [?] I know all of you, hope I have convinced you, will attempt to continue on. I say attempt, for corresponding, although I have become very familiar with the “word”, since entering the Army, still remains a big obstacle for me to hurdle. As you say in your letter, “Take your little fountain pen in hand NOW + drop a few interesting lines”. Have now been carrying out per instructions for the last few minutes, except for the word “interesting” perhaps, but if my letter is too bad, please file away, + when I say away, + when I say away, I mean far, far, away, O.K.?
Before I write another word, may I at this time “thank you” for the Xmas Gift of Smokes. No – I’m not going to try to wiggle out of it, + say, “Intended to write before”, “Blame it on the Army”, etc. although maybe my traveling since welcoming your gift has made less time for correspondence etc. My #1 correspondent is my sister (when little time for writing), and I have in several of my letters to her mentioned your kind act, with the request that she might possibly know of a student, from my home town of North Attleboro, attending Bryant College, + to thank you, through channels. I take it, this did not happen. Sorry I hope to have wiggled out of it by now, plead nolo, + the verdict is “not guilty”. How about it students?
Your letter-, Was sure glad to hear, that it would be Major Lee soon. Always remember his saying “Classify yourself” and also cigar, “a good cigar” verdict. He sure was a swell guy, + if my hearing is O.K. just heard you say, “Is still a swell fellow”. By the way, please remember me to Mr. Gulski. Right beside Henry Lee in my book, don’t you agree? Had to be a three letter word “YES”, or you would be kidding me. Correct? [?] myself-, I am feeling fine, + everything O.K. my “duties” for the most part is paper work” now. Before that, was in Communications. Get to know a little about everything. “Army Life” still not half bad, but don’t take me wrong, no “thirty year man” for me.
Well students, remember I still claim I know you “all” personally, and as it is nearly time for me to retire to my pup tent, to get “under the covers”, + comfort myself on my “Simmons Mattress” of straw, I dram to a close this letter, saying “thanks” + Good-Nite to you, you, + you.

1672 S U Ft. Sheridan, Ill. 2 January 1944
Greetings and Salutations,
It is always a pleasure to read your newsy letters, to note the doings at Bryant and the visits of Bryant Servicemen and woman. I noted very little news of the men of ’35, it is little wonder they have tome to write if they are as busy as I.
In my travels I have met several, who knew somebody that went to Bryant, but I have never met a Bryant man. The officer I share a room with here used to work with Wally Brahmer.
Just recently I graduated from the Adjutant Generals’ School at Fort Washington, Maryalnd [sic], and was commissioned a 2nd Lt. AUS.
Right now I am stationed here at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. It is one of the newer of the old Army posts, and is situated right on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is cold here, a damp cold that goes right though you. I’d take Providence in preference any day, but those days are in the distant future. The people out here are friendly, however, and try to do everything possible to make the servicemen feel at home.
I hope to see a little of Chicago, and would appreciate it, if you would send me major Lees address.
I want to thank you again for your letters and gifts, and wish you a successful and happy new year.
Sincerely yours, Alvin J. Connors Jr.

Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
