About the series

A practice-focused companion to the Implementation Course

The Community of Practice is a monthly virtual space to unpack, apply, and troubleshoot the concepts inside the OKMTSS Implementation Course. Each 45-minute session webinars in on a specific module so your team can move from theory to what actually happens on Monday morning.

  • Grounded in Oklahoma's MTSS framework
  • Facilitated conversation, not another webinar
  • Practical protocols, tools, and next steps you can use immediately
