What is LoTi**

LoTi (Levels of Teaching Innovation) was designed to harness the critical attributes of these initiatives (e.g., Daggett’s Rigor & Relevance, Marzano’s Research-based Best Practices, and Wiggins and McTighe’s Understanding by Design) into one UNITED EFFORT to improve instruction and maximize student achievement.

[] The LoTi Observer is an online tool that automatically calculates a teacher's LoTi level based on an administrator's recorded classroom walkthrough observations using a web-based application and/ or an iPod touch PDA. The LoTi Observer provides a powerful system for mobile data collection and analysis of LoTi-related behaviors in the classroom. Both the H.E.A.T.(Higher order thinking, Engaged learning, Authenticity, Technology use) and LoTi (Levels of Teaching Innovation) Classroom Observation Forms are available to complete observations. $250 LoTi Profiler per school (with district) = Waltham district $2250
