    Instituting MTSS Branching Minds Platform

    Don’t you love a secret menu? Whether it's the Animal-Style Burger or the Butterbeer Blizzard, insiders know how to get the best out of their order. At Branching Minds, we don't really serve a secret menu, but we have created lots of delightful little features that help educators get their work done. We asked our customers to share the lesser-known features of Branching Minds that make their lives easier, and they served up a host of fan-favorites!

    1.  

     

    Asset 1

    Asset 15TRIPLE DOTS

    It's SO easy to edit everything in BRM with those three dots! From staff associations to tags to plans and progress monitors, it's always easy to fix something quickly or edit a mistake (and I make plenty)! Thank you BRM for making things so easy for our users!

    - Denise Griffin, Coordinator of Student Support Services, Conroe ISD, TX

     

    Asset 3

    “It allows me to quickly identify students who are at risk and implement support ASAP!”

    - Abraham Leal, Interventionist, Garland ISD, TX

     

    Asset 7

     

    TO-DO LIST

    Asset 8

    FAMILY COMMUNICATION LOG

    Asset 17“It's fast and easy to document all communication for everyone to see immediately!!”

    - Jeannette Perez, School Counselor, Chicago Public Schools (15), IL

     

    Asset 13

    Asset 14
