OKMTSS Framework Description

This diagram shows the structure of the OKMTSS Framework. The framework as showed is the steps of a team-based approach to data-driven decision making in a school setting. The diagram outlines a three-tiered system of support for students, with Tier 1 being universal school-wide supports, Tier 2 being targeted interventions for small groups of students, and Tier 3 being intensive interventions for individual students. The diagram also highlights the importance of leadership support, sustainable teaming, and evidence-based practices.
