While we're celebrating New Year's with our families, we bring you this relic of podcasts past: A speed round devoted to our resolutions for the coming year. That year was 2020, but … yeah, we're still rolling them over. And since this is a replay, you'll hear from our old pal Nicole Eredics. We miss you, Nicole!

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a trio of cozy mysteries by Claudia Gray, all starring Jane Austen characters: The Murder of Mr. Wickham (2022), The Late Mrs. Willoughby (2023), and The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bough (2024). These are an absolutely delightful (and non-stressful) way to revisit these characters, and there's even a little helping of romance. Mentioned: Death Comes to Pemberley, another contemporary author's take on an Austen-themed mystery.​Terri's random recommendation is Artful Plus, the premium version of Artful Agenda, a digital planner we both use. With Artful Plus, you get a habit tracker and the ability to make and use your own stickers, among other perks. Mentioned: The Artful Agenda Facebook group, Artfully Obsessed.​​In the archives, we discussed an episode from 2020 on how parents can pay it forward (which we think is more helpful than starting or participating in a drive-thru pay-it-forward chain). Mentioned: Books from our former co-hosts: Inclusion in Action by Nicole Eredics and Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools (January 2025) by Amanda Morin.Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E23, "Exodus: Part 2," on Tuesday, December 17Shrinking S2 E6, "Get in the Sea," on Wednesday, December 18Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 19Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Since I started the podcast in 2012, I've always wanted to do a "best of" podcast! Today, we are highlighting five conversations that I had from the early years of the podcast. Paula Kluth talks about why some schools aren't as inclusive as they think they are. Dan Habib discusses how Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) looked for one high school. Julie Causton explains why her research project, called Schools of Promise, shows why inclusion works for all students. Nicole Eredics gives one important strategy for inclusive classrooms. And Scott F shares what it is like to have students with significant disabilities included in his classroom. Thanks for your time and attention!

Today on the podcast, we are going to talk about modifying curriculum. For my students back in Pasadena, CA, according to their IEP, the team agreed that this was the best way to access the curriculum. To take a part of the standards and then modify it down to where they were able to meaningfully participate in it. I talk with Juanita Pritchard, an intellectual disabilities specialist, about how we can do this for our students who require it. Also, I wanted to share a resource before we get started. Nicole Eredics book, Inclusion in Action, gives specific strategies on how to modify the curriculum for students who are in general education classrooms. I know a lot of educators who are put into a position where they receive no training on how to do this and are just expected to "make inclusion work." If you are one of those educators or know educators who could benefit from this resource direct them to Inclusion in Action. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/think-inclusive/support

On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, a special guest star: Nicole Eredics joins us to talk season 2 of “Big Little Lies” on HBO. While she very much enjoyed season 1 (we talked about it in April 2017, http://parentingroundabout.libsyn.com/dancing-with-big-little-lies-and-more), she's not sold on season 2. We can all agree that the actors are enjoying the heck out of this job, though. And Terri's enjoying reading about the series at Rolling Stone (https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-recaps/), Uproxx (https://uproxx.com/tv/big-little-lies-husbands-ranked/), and Primetimer (https://www.primetimer.com/features/adam-scott-is-nailing-both-sides-of-his-big-little-lies-character). Next week, we'll return to “So You Think You Can Dance” (with still! more! judges'! auditions!) and kick off the final season of “The West Wing” with "The Ticket." For quotes, archives, and more, visit us at http://parentingroundabout.com.

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2: The judges' auditions continue on “So You Think You Can Dance,” with more of the most! amazing! dancers! (and one token "no thanks"). On “The West Wing” season 6 finale, convention wheeling and dealing finally leads to a Democratic presidential nominee, and who that is surprises us not a bit. Next week, there will not be a new SYTYCD nor (we think) a discussion of S7E1 on the West Wing Weekly podcast. So we're planning a special episode, with a guest star: Our own Nicole Eredics, who will chat with us about season 2 of “Big Little Lies” on HBO.

[Catherine and Terri are taking a vacation week on Round 2 and bringing you excerpts from a couple of entertainment-related episodes from way back in 2015. Next week's episode is new, though, as are all our other episodes this week.] 00:35: From Round 2, June 16, 2015 (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/18923343): Spoilers have become a big point of Internet etiquette, but is it fair to expect everyone to wait to talk about entertainment they've enjoyed untll you've had a chance to catch up? We share our thoughts on the notion that imparting information on a piece of entertainment to someone who has not yet consumed it is inherently awful and cruel. We discussed the old days when TV Guide was in the spoiler business, the value of stories you already know the ending to (spoiler! things do not work out well for Romeo and Juliet), the buzz-dampening effect of dumping show episodes nobody can talk about yet, and the benefit of knowing you can always look up what happened on a show so you can safely watch while multitasking. … 11:29: From Episode 52, January 29, 2015 (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/18923342): The end of the NBC series “Parenthood” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=aps&keywords=Parenthood%20DVDs&linkCode=as2&tag=motherswithattit&linkId=CMJL3BJWAJWCSUIY) got us talking about an article by Linda Holmes on NPR's Monkey See blog (http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2015/01/08/375849088/parenthood-and-the-strange-case-of-the-missing-family-drama) on why such shows may have fallen out of favor; the family dramas we fell for in the past (and Terri apologizes here for talking and talking and talking about those shows — seriously, don't get her started — but if you want to join her in swooning over that “Once and Again” plotline with Eric Stoltz as Mr. Dimitri, start right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2ecn0Evl4s); and the shows we're paying attention to now. For more on the topic, and opinions from Amanda Morin and Nicole Eredics (who interject a bit in this segment), listen to the full episode (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/18923342). … For next week's new episode, we'll watch the next two episodes of “Trophy Wife” ("Couples Therapy" and "The Minutes"), “The West Wing” episode "Jefferson Lives," and for the challenge round, “Coco.” Join us!

There are greater numbers of students with disabilities receiving their education in general education classrooms. But is inclusion just a good idea - a feel-good, pie in the sky theory that does not translate into the real world of schools and classrooms? Today we speak with Nicole Eredics from The Inclusive Classroom. Nicole is the author of the book, ‘Inclusion in Action - practical strategies to modify your curriculum’. The book provides 40 specific, teacher-tested strategies to modify the curriculum for students who work below grade level. Nicole also hosts a website called www.theinclusiveclass.com. Listen to Nicole's practical advice on facilitating a inclusive classroom for traumatised students. To check the show notes for this episode, visit www.tipbs.com Thanks for listening!

On this week's episode of Parenting Roundabout's entertainment-themed Round 2, Catherine and Terri continue watching The West Wing, listen to some of Catherine’s favorite music on the Challenge Round, and discuss the Grammys with a special guest. Here’s your road map: 00:38: The Grammy Awards — Special guest Nicole Eredics (the Nicole Eredics!) joins us to talk about the outfits, awards, and performances of the Grammys. But mostly the outfits. (Mentioned: Adele's Tiny Desk Concert.) 16:27: The West Wing — This week’s episode, “The Stackhouse Filibuster,” reminds us how things have changed when it comes to discussing autism on television, plus we learn about a fancy French dessert that neither of us ever, ever wants to taste. 26:37: Challenge Round — Catherine challenged Terri to listen to the Fountains of Wayne album “Sky Full of Holes.” As predicted, Terri enjoyed it, because who wouldn’t love a band that rhymes “Cracker Barrel” with “Will Ferrell”? For her challenge, Terri is getting Catherine to watch her first-ever episode of Lost. It’s called “The Constant,” and it’s season 4, episode 5 (available on Netflix). For next week, we’ll cover that, The West Wing ’s “17 People,” and the ABC sitcom “Speechless.” Join us!

Happy 2017! But before we’re totally done with 2016, Catherine and Terri take a little look back at the pop culture resolutions they made and sort of kept, and the episodes of the past year that got the most listens. 01:06 Our Resolution Scorecard — So on our last Round 2 of 2015, we made some bold predictions for 2016. DVRs would be cleaned out. New shows would be watched. Marathons would be conducted. Oscar nominees would be seen. Some of those things happened — we did indeed marathon Parks and Recreation as resolved, and what fun that was. Some of those things were a partial success — Catherine saw a few nominees, though possibly after the Oscars. And some of those things we never got to, like Terri’s intention to watch Breaking Bad or read one of Catherine's book-club books. Better luck next year? We make some new promises, and you'll have to check back in 2018 to see how we did. 18:39 Most Popular Episode of 2016 — That would be Episode 120: Saving Face on Facebook. Apparently, griping about Facebook is something everybody wants in on, so we'll have to schedule more of it for 2017. Listen to a couple of extended clips from our conversation, which (like the Speed Round that follows) includes Nicole Eredics and our departed member, Amanda Morin. 34:47 Most Popular Speed Round of 2016 — We waxed nostalgic about school supplies, and people listened. Join us in listening again to Terri pleading for confirmation that somebody other than her has heard of Pee-Chee folders (correct spelling). 40:22 Most Popular Round 2 of 2016 — Of all the entertainment-related Round 2s Catherine and Terri did last year, the one that got the most downloads wasn't the one about the Oscars or the Paralympics but The Great British Baking Show. Listen again to our conversation about that most genteel of competitions, and if you liked that, why not come on across the pond and watch The Great American Baking Show with us. We'll be talking about it again on Tuesday. Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music. Thanks to you, too, for listening to us this past year. And thanks to Terri’s dog, My Girl, for all the toenail taps and collar jingling throughout the podcast. We hear you, pooch. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.

Today I will be speaking with Nicole Eredics…co-host of the Inclusive Class Podcast on BlogTalkRadio.com. Nicole spent many years as a classroom teacher in British Columbia, Canada in a fully inclusive educational system before moving to the US a few years ago. Nicole and I discuss the differences between the Canadian and US educational system and their approaches to inclusion. We also talk about the most important ally for inclusion that a classroom teacher can have. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/think-inclusive/support
