What NY Educators Are Saying
"I've been doing this work for 36 years, and I've never come across a tool that encompasses so many things districts truly need and that my staff actually use daily."
Dr. William Crankshaw
Superintendent, Greater Johnstown School District , NY
"We're now discussing the reasons behind placing students in specific tiers and how we can create stronger entry and exit ramps for these services. This approach allows students to achieve the growth they need and exit using interventions tailored to the data input into Branching Minds."
Amanda Allison
Assistant Superintendent Of Pupil Personnel Services, Onteora Central School District, NY
"Branching Minds has been instrumental to our success because it forces us to examine our practices at every level, deep dive into what's working, what's not working, and what pieces are missing."
Jenna Blank
RTI Coordinator, Livonia Central School District, NY
"I like the individual support—Branching Minds will get right on a call with me, and so that's been very supportive."
Jessica Turner
Former Executive Director for Instructional Support, Ossining UFSD, NY
