The MTSS System Behind Your System
By connecting real-time student data across academics, behavior, attendance, and well-being, educators can quickly see who needs support, why, and what to do next. Branching Minds doesn't just flag concerns—it recommends evidence-based actions, organizes intervention plans, and tracks progress.

Trusted by Districts Nationwide














































Built for the Daily Reality of MTSS
Branching Minds is the system schools use to run MTSS. It brings all your student data into one place, helps you see who needs support, guides your team through what to do, and shows if it’s working.
MTSS Shouldn’t Be So Hard
Transform Data Chaos into Confident Decisions
Too many teams are working from fragmented systems, outdated spreadsheets, and incomplete pictures making it nearly impossible to see what students really need.
Shift Manual Tiering into Early, Targeted Support
Most districts rely on manual reviews or subjective judgment to flag students for support, meaning kids fall through the cracks or wait too long for help.
Turn Inconsistent Plans into Aligned Action
Support plans are often inconsistent, unclear, or disconnected from real student data, leaving teams guessing what’s been tried and whether it’s working.
Unlock Insight to Drive Real Impact
Without actionable reporting, districts are stuck reacting to problems instead of preventing them and can’t show the impact of their work when it matters most.

Whether you’re one school or fifty, the Branching Minds MTSS platform makes MTSS work with shared systems, scalable tools, and practical workflows that teams can follow, no matter their size or structure.

Making MTSS Work: Your Questions Answered
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.
