Use Data to Guide Decision-Making and Planning

The Branching Minds platform allows districts and schools to integrate data from several SEL and Behavioral Health assessments. Results are presented alongside academic assessments, intervention plans, behavior incidents, progress monitoring, and other documents and communications.

The platform also offers districts and schools access to a set of evidence-based social-emotional competency assessments.

Both assessments are grounded in resilience theory and are directly aligned with the CASEL framework.

High-Quality Interventions Matched to Each Student’s Needs

Branching Minds supports include hundreds of evidence-based intervention programs.

If your school or district has purchased those resources, they can be added to the student’s intervention plan on Branching Minds. The platform also has nearly a thousand free evidence-based strategies, activities, and resources that can be added to a student’s intervention plan.

Community Schools Partnership Program

Developing Community Schools? CCSPP Planning Grants offer up to $200K for LEAs without existing community schools. Align your efforts with MTSS to support student needs.
