Explore RtI stories through multimedia site

Posted: 10/25/2011 4:42:20 PM

Districts, schools, and educators can explore Response to Intervention (RtI) at a new multimedia site, "Wisconsin RtI Stories."

One video on the site introduces viewers to the "Lesson Study" program at McLenegan Elementary in Beloit. A cross-grade-level team of teachers and consultants plan and teach a lesson together, then revise the lesson based on their observations of students' learning.

"The smallest change can make the biggest difference," notes Kasandra Spencer, a teacher at the school.

Each of the four sections of "Wisconsin RtI Stories" offers a video which can be viewed alone or as part of professional development using a provided Conversation Guide. The sections are:

"Getting Started," which explores Wisconsin's vision for RtI
"Collaboration," including the Kasandra Spencer quote above
"High Quality Instruction," showing how one school responds to individual talents and challenges
"Balanced Assessment," profiling how a high school uses a rich mix of data to adjust teaching

Each section includes "Go Deeper" links to related information or "bonus videos" featuring experts or meeting recordings.

"Wisconsin RtI Stories" was produced by the Educational Communications Board in cooperation with the DPI and the Wisconsin RtI Center.
