Creating Effective Tier II Behavior Support Plans for Individual Students.

Participants will explore several problem solving protocols that design effective Tier II behaviors plans for indvidual students. Using the PTRR framework, participants will learn how to select a problem behavior. identify it\u27s common pattern, and select strategies and interventions designed to Prevent the triggering event, Teach a new skill, Reinforce the new & improved behavior, & Respond to the problem behavior. These problem solving protocols are effective tools to identify supportive solutions to problem behaviors at school, in the home, and in the community

Towards the Unification of Gravity and other Interactions: What has been Missed?

Faced with the persisting problem of the unification of gravity with other fundamental interactions we investigate the possibility of a new paradigm, according to which the basic space of physics is a multidimensional space ${\cal C}$ associated with matter configurations. We consider general relativity in ${\cal C}$. In spacetime, which is a 4-dimensional subspace of ${\cal C}$, we have not only the 4-dimensional gravity, but also other interactions, just as in Kaluza-Klein theories. We then consider a finite dimensional description of extended objects in terms of the center of mass, area, and volume degrees of freedom, which altogether form a 16-dimensional manifold whose tangent space at any point is Clifford algebra Cl(1,3). The latter algebra is very promising for the unification, and it provides description of fermions.Comment: 11 pages; Talk presented at "First Mediterranean Conference on Classical and Quantum Gravity", Kolymbari, Crete, Greece, 14-18 September 200

Interacting vector fields in Relativity without Relativity

Barbour, Foster and \'{O} Murchadha have recently developed a new framework, called here {\it{the 3-space approach}}, for the formulation of classical bosonic dynamics. Neither time nor a locally Minkowskian structure of spacetime are presupposed. Both arise as emergent features of the world from geodesic-type dynamics on a space of 3-dimensional metric--matter configurations. In fact gravity, the universal light cone and Abelian gauge theory minimally coupled to gravity all arise naturally through a single common mechanism. It yields relativity -- and more -- without presupposing relativity. This paper completes the recovery of the presently known bosonic sector within the 3-space approach. We show, for a rather general ansatz, that 3-vector fields can interact among themselves only as Yang--Mills fields minimally coupled to gravity.Comment: Replaced with final version accepted by Classical and Quantum Gravity (14 pages, no figures
