Data Interoperability: Streamlining MTSS with ClassLink and Branching Minds
MTSS teams have the important - and often daunting - responsibility of collecting, connecting, and analyzing vast amounts of data that inform decision-making to ensure all students are supported efficiently and effectively. The problem is that data often ‘lives’ in different systems and formats, making it difficult for educators to develop a comprehensive view of student needs, growth, and overall success. So, how do we ensure that the appropriate data is identified, aggregated, and exchanged so we can DO something with it? Enter Data Interoperability!
Data interoperability ensures that MTSS data can be exchanged between different systems quickly and efficiently. This helps educators to more easily identify areas of need, implement interventions, and track progress. In this webinar, we’ll explore what data interoperability is and why it’s critical to your MTSS practice. We’ll also use Branching Minds and ClassLink as examples of how data interoperability looks and how it can help streamline your MTSS practice, enhance collaboration, improve outcomes, and ensure objectivity.
Watch this webinar to learn:
- What data interoperability is and why it’s essential for effective MTSS practice
- The benefits of data interoperability for your district, school, teachers, and students
- Examples of data interoperability, including data that can be exchanged/ingested in both Branching Minds and ClassLink
