Wisconsin RtI Center Our mission is to support schools through the phases and sustainability of their RtI system implementation. The core reason that the Wisconsin RtI Center exists is to develop, coordinate and provide high-quality professional development and technical assistance… as well as to gather, analyze and disseminate RtI implementation data to enhance the support of schools’ implementation.

Principles for RtI in Wisconsin: 1. RtI is for ALL children and ALL educators. 2. RtI must support and provide value to effective practices. 3. Success for RtI lies within the classroom through collaboration. 4. RtI is a framework for academics and behavior together. 5. RtI supports and provides value to the use of multiple assessments to inform instructional practices. 6. RtI is something you do and not necessarily something you buy. 7. RtI emerges from and supports research and evidence based practice.

Benchmarks of Quality The Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) is an annual assessment school teams use to identify areas of success and areas for improvement in the implementation of PBIS. The BoQ reports on nine areas of implementation, one of which is the implementation plan.

Benchmarks of Quality Implementation Plan 35. A curriculum to teach the components of the discipline system to all staff is developed and used 36. Plans for training staff how to teach expectations/rules/rewards are developed, scheduled and delivered

Share What Stands Out to You AHA! Celebrations OH, NO! Areas to develop MM-HMM No surprise here– just as we suspected.

Benchmarks of Quality

Precision Statement During the school year, 879 WI schools implementing PBIS and self assessing using the BoQ: -- averaged Total Score (fidelity = 70) --highest subscales were Expectations Defined (92.38) and Disciplinary Procedures (91.36) --and the greatest areas for development were Faculty Commitment (74.04) and Implementation Plan (75.52)

Benchmarks of Quality Implementation Plan, lets examine the items!!! (In Place, Partially, or No???) 37. A plan for teaching students expectations/rules/rewards is developed scheduled and delivered 38. Booster sessions for students and staff are planned, scheduled, and delivered
