Data-Driven Literacy Growth
In partnership with Branching Minds, Orange County Elementary Schools built the infrastructure to truly see their data, empowering teachers and literacy coaches to collaborate and target support where it mattered most.
Measurable results:

A System-Level MTSS Platform
We’re a team of educators, learning scientists, and technologists who’ve helped hundreds of districts make MTSS actually work.
Branching Minds ingests student data nightly, connects academic, behavioral, and social skill supports, and guides educators to make decisions grounded in research, not guesswork. It replaces fragmented tools with one unified system that helps teams collaborate, act quickly, and track what matters most. We turn complexity into clarity so every student gets the right support at the right time.
Identify Who Needs Support and Why
- Proactively identify which students need support by automatically applying cut points to assessment data.
- Examine why students may struggle using reading and math Insight Surveys.
- Understand where and for whom the core needs strengthening, with access to targeted instructional resources.
