A System-Level MTSS Platform
Branching Minds isn’t new to MTSS or to Washington.
We’re a team of educators, learning scientists, and technologists who’ve helped hundreds of districts make MTSS actually work. Our unified platform connects academic, behavioral, and social-emotional supports, turning complex data into clear, research-grounded decisions.

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.
Real Schools. Real MTSS Impact.
"With Branching Minds, the support never goes away. And sometimes I feel like I am the only client because whoever I'm reaching out to gets back to me like that."
Leslie Wright
Coordinator of Instructional Supports and Enrichment, Encinitas Union School District, CA
"Branching Minds fostered better communication and collaboration across grade levels, teams, and between schools and the central office by providing a shared view of student data, making the entire district more aligned in supporting student success."
Dr. Julie Thompson
Superintendent, Roanoke Rapids Graded School District, NC
"Branching Minds has been the game changer for us to make MTSS a true whole child system of support. Without it, we would not be as far along as we are and we wouldn't see our kids thriving as they are because we are able to have a system that pulls us all together for us. It would take so much time, we spent years and so many hours trying to create our own and Branching Minds has it all."
Karen Arnett
Director of Teacher and Student Support, Springs Charter Schools, CA
"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."
