Gretchen-
First of all, I have to say, "Wow." Your site looks great! It has changed so much since I looked at everything a couple of weeks ago. You've been putting in some long hours- I can tell! I really enjoyed the information in Lesson 1 along with the accompanied video. Although I knew about Response to Intervention prior to looking through this lesson, I felt I came away with a much better idea of what RTI and the pyramid are, and how they are properly used in the educational setting. Lessons 2 and 3 are just as informative, as you describe, in great detail, how to refer a student and complete necessary documentation. The video scripts are a nice touch, too, especially for users who might not have the ability to play embedded videos (firewall issues, etc.). Usability and layout are good, and I like the color palate and contrast of backgrounds and foregrounds throughout the site. Nice job!
As far as things to improve, I have just a few (albeit trivial) suggestions. First of all, make sure you have your external links open in blank pages. Case in point, when you click on the blog, instead of opening an external window, navigation moves you to the blog without opening a new page. You always want to keep a window open back in your site while you work with the external page(s). Also, make sure you title the Exit page accordingly. Right now, it just says "Untitled Document".
All in all, though, you really have done a very nice job. I look forward to seeing your presentation at Dress Rehearsal and the finished product in a few weeks. Good luck as you finish touching everything up!
