Join 250,000+ educators who are using Branching Minds to improve student outcomes.
Supporting the Priorities Shaping Texas Schools
Texas schools are advancing MTSS, aligning STAAR results with intervention, and implementing new SB 11 school safety requirements. Branching Minds brings these initiatives together in one connected platform.
Branching Minds helps Texas districts:
- Strengthen MTSS implementation across every school
- Turn STAAR results into proactive, aligned intervention
- Connect academic, behavior, attendance, and student support data
- Meet new SB 11 threat assessment requirements, working alongside your Sentinel system
A Unified Platform for Texas Schools
Branching Minds gives Texas educators one connected platform to identify student needs, coordinate supports, strengthen collaboration, and connect data across every school.
One Cohesive MTSS Platform
Unify academic, behavior, and social skill supports in one HB 1416–aligned MTSS platform.
Behavior Screening
Proactively identify behavioral needs with SRSS-IE.
Aligning STAAR and MTSS
Turn STAAR results into proactive, aligned MTSS intervention across your district.
NEW: SB 11 Student Safety
Standardize threat assessment protocols, document assessments and response plans, and coordinate follow-up — working alongside Sentinel.
How MTSS Supports SB 11 Implementation
Canopy Case Management works alongside Sentinel and your existing Safe and Supportive School Program, helping districts standardize threat assessment protocols, securely document assessments and response plans, coordinate follow-up, and connect students with the supports identified through the assessment, all within an existing MTSS workflow.
Evidence-Based Assessment Workflows
Guide multidisciplinary threat assessment teams through a consistent protocol aligned with SB 11 and Texas School Safety Center guidance.
Secure Case Documentation
Document assessments and follow-up activities in one secure, centralized system that works alongside Sentinel — not in place of it.
Response Plan Tracking
Assign next steps, monitor response plans and follow-up activities, and keep multidisciplinary teams aligned throughout implementation.
Integrate Threat Assessment & MTSS
Connect safety insights to holistic student data and targeted supports, so teams see the whole student — not just the incident in front of them.
