Into the Book: Teacher Video is a professional development series that accompanies the student classroom
series. The Visualizing episode features 3rd grade inclusion teacher Kristin Leglar and district special education teacher Jennifer Ingebritsen working
with their students on visualizing. After the lesson, Dr. Michael P. Ford, professor of reading education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh,
interviews Kris and Jen about their reading comprehension lesson and their own professional development practices.
