Please carefully read these terms of use before using this Web site. Without limitation, access or use of this Web site's resources ("resources" including any information, materials, services, communications, previews and project reviews, without limitation) constitutes your agreement to the Terms of Use described in this document ("Terms of Use").

Document, Publication, and Product Usage
Unless otherwise noted, you are allowed to print, copy, and distribute traditional and/or electronic documents and publications (e.g., research briefs, strategy and idea papers, activities, and other instructional and/or informational resources) that have been provided at no charge by Designed instruction, subject to your agreement with the following:

(a.) The use is for educational purposes (pre K through grade 16), or is strictly informational in nature. Any use for educational purposes with children or youth, including reasonable adaptation and modification intended to enhance learning, or for the purpose of sharing among other education field professionals or parents with this intent, is allowed and encouraged. Commercial use, including marketing, and including non-profit business-building ventures, will be prosecuted.

(b.) Modifications to resources are not made, except as an attempt to address appropriate educational intent as described above in (a). No distribution of graphics outside of the accompanying text document, or quotation of written material intentionally out of context, is allowed.

(c.) Appropriate intellectual credit and copyright notice, and logo and trademark display if necessary, and other proprietary notices are included and displayed on all printed, copied, and distributed materials.

(d.) These permissions may be revoked upon notice by Designed Instruction, and upon such notice, you will immediately stop all activities related to this permission.

Products that are purchased are subject to the identical limitations described for free resources above in (a) through (d), except for the provision that copying and distribution must in all cases be confined to the materials intended to promote student learning in a classroom, home, or similar educational environment. Examples of these types of materials include handouts, student sheets, student texts, activities, and so forth.

Purchase products cannot be copied, distributed, or "given" by any means, electronically or otherwise, to others who have not purchased the product, including other educators, to use for free.

Note: Individuals or organizations who wish to reprint and/or distribute our original content are encouraged, if their purposes are to directly assist student learning or freely share useful information with the educational community. Typically, these criteria are met by teachers and parents who work directly with students, and by groups or organizations that freely provide information to teachers and parents. Read our Education Content Reprint and Distribution Guidelines.
