    Benefits

    Improved student outcomes in academics, behavior and SEL
    Students supported on BrM experienced an average of 5 percentile points reading gains, while students not supported decreased an average of .3 percentile points over 1.5 years. t(137) = 2.2, p = .028, d = .38

    results

    More equitable outcomes for students
    Educators have the data to be able to make unbiased, student focused decisions and admins gain visibility into who is receiving support across subgroups; minority students supported on BrM see a significantly higher rate of growth.

    Streamline communication and collaboration
    Insights across all domains enable users to work together and learn from each other when supporting shared students; and easily keep each other and families updated on progress

    High fidelity RTI/MTSS practice
    Scaffolded best-practice enables educators to improve the quality of their practice, while fidelity and infrastructure reports allow administrators to understand drive towards system health
