4. TRAIN Training in Response to Assessment and Instructional Needs (TRAIN) is the support system developed and funded by the Oklahoma SPDG II to provide training and support to selected sites interested in implementing OTISS. Training and support are provided in multiple forms and across several different levels of intensity depending on where the site is in current implementation of a tiered system of support.

5. TRAIN Services to Oklahoma Tiered Intervention System of Support (OTISS) Sites LEVEL I (UNIVERSAL) Designed to Assist: Schools not currently implementing a tiered system of academic and behavioral supports, but interested in Oklahoma’s model, the Oklahoma Tiered Intervention System of Support (OTISS) Schools currently implementing a tiered system of either academic and behavioral supports, but lacking one or more of the specific components necessary for OTISS. Expected Clients: ALL SITES INTERESTED IN IMPLEMENTING OTISS HAVE ACCESS TO LEVEL I (UNIVERSAL) SUPPORT. Services: Sites that apply for support through the OK SPDG II and are not selected to receive LEVEL II or Level III services are automatically added as a Level I OTISS Site. In addition, sites can be added as a Level I OTISS Site at any time by contacting the OK SPDG II staff at the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Level I OTISS Sites will be provided information via email on trainings, resources, and documents regarding implementing OTISS as they become available. The OTISS Web site is currently being revamped to support sites in implementing OTISS.

An on-site visit form with rating scale is utilized to determine where the site is currently performing in implementing Response to Intervention (RtI) and/or Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). If the site participated as a previous Level II or Level III OTISS Site, the OSDE will already have implementation documentation for the site; therefore, an additional visit may not be required.
