“I surprised at how much the teachers liked it, and the next question from them was, ‘I’m going to have this next year, right?’”

“We have students who were previously unsuccessful academically because of their behavior who are now achieving academic success.”

“Branching minds is a fantastic tool for educators. It provides a common language and focus in designing an intervention that supports student growth.”

“Branching Minds is a dynamic program that offers all teachers and staff members to participate in supporting learners, both behaviorally and academically. For districts like ours that embrace teaching the whole child, BrM offers opportunities for all of us to take an active role in meeting the needs of our students, establish interventions, monitor these interventions, and hold ourselves accountable for working with our students.”

“For the first time ever, teachers feel empowered to provide the appropriate intervention for struggling students. They truly have a voice but not only that, Branching Minds brings that teacher collaboration to the forefront. As an elementary principal, I also love the fact that Branching Minds is linked to our current universal screener (MAP) and as a former special education teacher, I love the fact that Executive Function is one of the recognized domains that teachers can identify as an area of weakness. But mostly, there is teacher “buy in”. Fast buy in!”

“Branching Mind is a powerful tool in helping our intervention teams in Prince William County School System in meeting the needs of students requiring more intensive support. This is an excellent resource that is effective in helping the interventionists, classroom educators, and administrators work smarter not harder! We are so glad to be able to use this tool.”

“As our team became more proficient with supporting students individual needs, it became clear that we needed a better way to keep track of how we intervene with students and also more tools on how to intervene and why. Branching Minds provides so much more than just a solution to our problem. Branching Minds has illuminated a path forward for developing the foundational systems and processes we need to truly personalize supports for our students. In addition, Branching Minds multiplies our capacity to identify and respond to student needs.”

“Hearing about what other teachers are doing to help the student gives me a new perspective.”

“The insight survey is particularly useful in directing behavioral conversations in a productive manner.”

“Branching Minds has streamlined the RTI process in my school building. Teachers, administration, and supportive staff are able to access data and other information in a central location. The to-do lists are helpful and keep progress monitoring a priority. The visual graphs are helpful when presenting data to parents and stakeholders.”

“This is an extremely easy platform to use! This is my fourth year entering RTI data into a computer and each year has been different. This platform by far is the easiest to enter and look for growth/results for my students in RTI.”

“Branching minds is a great way to organize information and make available to all teachers.”

“Meetings go a great deal faster!”

“Love the instant feedback from other teachers in different situations”

“Great organizational program!”

“It is very easy to send out the surveys and for all teachers to see and input data.”

“I think that Branching Minds helps to streamline the intervention and progress monitoring process therefore helping to facilitate the Individual Problem Solving Team in being a more effective team.”

“As a teacher with a thousand things to do at one time, having that checklist is a huge life-saver.”

“No more searching for interventions. It’s all right there!”

“The program is very teacher friendly and it is very supportive to find interventions for any struggling student.”

“The goals definitely give you the opportunity to fully consider every aspect of the student. It streamlines information and creates a platform for conversation that truly gives you data that you can use to assess a student. Our guidance counselor does an exceptional job of taking notes and Branching Minds gives us the opportunity to get all of the information we need.”

“There is a good variety of supports to choose from and it is great to see what everyone is doing.”

“I like how I get constant reminders on my email. As well, it is satisfying to know when my “to do” list is complete. The “to do” list is a great idea. I like when my “to do” list is all complete! It has given me more time to plan effective lesson plans.”

“It has made information sharing easy and consistent.”

“It’s a good way for multiple professionals to answer similar questions about a specific student that is seen in different settings.”
