Our goal is to increase student achievement through a comprehensive MTSS framework district-wide ensuring students have high quality, student-centered tier 1 instruction, extra time and support in tier 2, and tier 3 interventions when needed.
The WBSD Way of MTSS illustrates our approach to a Multi-Tied System of support.
PLC Team Process details the four core instructional questions for educators and lists actionable steps to teacher teams.
The WBSD Forward is a working metaphor for the curriculum, instruction, and assessment work across our district.
It moves in a cycle, driving us forward, and keeps our focus right where it belongs: on student learning.
Placing students at the center of the four PLC questions is the right work.
What do we want students to learn? ( Essential Standards)
How do we know they’ve learned it? ( Common Formative Assessments)
What do we do if they didn’t learn it? ( Intervention)
What do we do if they did? ( Enrichment)
Whether you’re designing a year-long program, collaboration with teacher teams, planning a unit, delivering a daily lesson, building a behavior or SEL initiative, or reflection on what to do next, those four core questions serve as a guide on how we respond to our students and move forward.
It’s grounded in research, versatile across all grades and subjects, and centered on student data. It propels us forward and keeps our shared focus where it matters most: on student success."
