OTISS Kick-Off Powerpoint
What is OTISS?
Oklahoma Tiered Intervention System of Support (OTISS) is Oklahoma’s Response to Intervention (RtI) model that addresses both academics and behavior. Specifically, this model blends Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and RtI. This model was developed, and currently supported, through the 2011 Oklahoma State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG II).
What is a tiered intervention system of support?
A tiered intervention system of support includes a combination of high quality, culturally and linguistically responsive instruction, assessment, and evidence-based intervention, and data-based decision making. Comprehensive implementation of a tiered intervention system of support will improve instructional quality, provide all students with the best opportunities to succeed in school, and assist with the identification of learning disabilities and other disabilities.

Response to Intervention (RtI)
RtI is a tiered intervention process that integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement. With RtI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes; monitor student progress; provide evidence-based interventions; adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions depending on a student’s responsiveness; and may identify students with learning disabilities or other disabilities.
Oklahoma Tiered Intervention System of Support (OTISS) is Oklahoma’s RtI model that addresses both academics and behavior. Specifically, this model blends Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and RtI. This model was developed, and currently supported, through the 2011 Oklahoma State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG II).
The Oklahoma State Department of Education is currently supporting the RtI Pilot School Program by working with 21 school sites (15 districts) around the state to develop RtI Demonstration Sites designed to serve as models to provide further guidance for LEAs interested in implementing RtI. The RtI Demonstration Sites will be announced during the 2012-2013 school year.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
PBIS is an operational framework. It is a three-tiered prevention model: primary, secondary, and tertiary. PBIS is not a curriculum rather a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important behavior and academic outcomes for all students.
Oklahoma Tiered Intervention System of Support (OTISS) is Oklahoma's Response to Intervention (RtI) model that addresses both academics and behavior. Specifically, this model blends PBIS and RtI.
