Wyoming's Intensive Intervention Implementation Story
Beginning in 2016, the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) begin initial implementation of data-based individualization (DBI). It started with four teachers and is now used by hundreds of educators across the state. To support its local educators, the WDE hosts a robust website of DBI resources and available professional learning, including online learning modules and onsite coaching. While the WDE used resources available through the National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) for several years and formally joined the NCII as partner in 2020. The impact of the WDE’s DBI work is seen in its increasing state performance data for students with disabilities and the existing infrastructure developed to sustain supports for local educators implementing of DBI.
