Social-Emotional Competency Assessment (SECA)

Understand Students’ Social-Emotional Needs with the SECA and Branching Minds

The SECA is a research-based student-facing assessment for grades 5–12, integrated directly into Branching Minds.

The SECA helps you identify which students need more support by asking them to rate themselves on social competencies in a streamlined format that makes it easy to administer the assessment and see the results.

Track the Skills That Matter Most

SECA measures eight essential competencies—from self-management to responsible decision-making—giving schools the insight to meet students where they are.

Take Action With Confidence

Branching Minds helps turn SECA data into action. Use integrated tools to design interventions, monitor progress, and collaborate with families and teams.

Support the Student, All in One Place

Academic and emotional growth aren’t separate, and neither are your supports. Branching Minds connects SEL, behavior, and academic needs in a unified MTSS platform.

"You brand yourself as a true partnership, and my experience has been just that. It’s a partnership between us and Branching Minds."
