    Dr. William Crankshaw

    Jenna Blank

    How Branching Minds Makes Your MTSS Vision a Reality

    Branching Minds was built with one purpose: to make MTSS work. Not just check a box. Not just surface data. Educators get guided next steps. Leaders gain full visibility. IT teams are freed from daily maintenance. And unlike platforms that tack MTSS on as an afterthought, we go an inch wide and a mile deep—because MTSS isn’t an add-on for us. It’s the foundation.

    Most MTSS platforms get stuck in setup mode—manual uploads, shaky integrations, and never-ending data issues.

    Branching Minds is different.

    Districts that come ready can go fully live in a couple weeks, not months, with expert-led onboarding, automatic nightly syncs of key systems, and the kind of long-term infrastructure that lets educators focus on students, not data maintenance.

    Branching Minds brings together everything needed to run a strong MTSS system—organized into three pillars: Core MTSS Functionality, an Integrated Support Suite, and an AI-Powered Collaborator Suite.

    Whether you’re focused on building a foundation or scaling advanced supports, the platform can flex to meet your priorities. From intervention planning and automated tiering to behavior screening, safety case management, and AI-driven insights, Branching Minds adapts to your team’s needs and your district’s strategy.

    Branching Minds helps teams move from information to action—without the guesswork. Our dashboards surface tier movement, identify students showing early signs of risk, and reveal where supports are making a difference across academics, behavior, and SEL.

    You’ll see which students need what kind of help, how interventions are performing, and where your system is thriving—or slipping—so your next move is always grounded in insight, not instinct.

    Branching Minds helps you work smarter—not harder—and we have the results to prove it. Independent research shows districts see a 4X return on investment in just three years, cut documentation time nearly in half, and significantly reduce unnecessary special education referrals.

    When MTSS becomes easier to do well, teachers stay longer, students grow faster, and every decision starts to feel like it matters again.
