Example A (sample site) for training* Site A is in its first year of SOSOSY implementation and operates during the summer. OSY needs are assessed during interviews using the OSY Profile. The 3 staff have had little time to explore resources and websites, and have been involved in 1 training on OSY curriculum, assessments, and resources. They are using several of the SOSOSY materials and administer pre/post assessments, do progress monitoring, and are just beginning to use the results for making improvements to the program. *NOTE: Expand or change this example to fit your state situation. Cut the example out and place it in an envelope for training.

Example B (sample site) for training* Site B is a mature SOSOSY site that has operated for the past six years during the summer and regular school year. Student needs are assessed by recruiters and then project staff on the COE, OSY Screener, and a local needs assessment. The results are used for directing instruction through the use of a local Student Success Plan. Site B staff have trained other local sites on SOSOSY lessons, assessments, resources, and ID&R and always turn it their evaluation forms with high ratings. They have systems in place for ongoing progress monitoring of OSY and meet weekly as a staff to analyze and use the results to focus instruction. *NOTE: Expand or change this example to fit your state situation. Cut the example out and place it in an envelope for training.
