"What we learned from this study is that WIT does an excellent job of individualizing instruction. Because WIT manages to provide a flexible and supportive environment for teachers at all levels of proficiency, success in WIT 2002 was not generally sensitive to participants’ levels of initial preparation or overall motivation. ... If professional development generally were able to individualize instruction the way that WIT does, the whole system would be vastly more efficient and effective."
(Excerpt from outside evaluation study by the Bay Area Research Group)
