There are several learning modules available in the MTSS Learning Hub. There are three courses that are recommended learning for anyone engaging in the implementation of Branching Minds:

It is also highly recommended that educators new to MTSS complete the Basics of MTSS course.

Over time, you can expect to see learning modules focused on maximizing key features of the Branching Minds platform, as well as interpreting and using data from Branching Minds reports.

Each learning module is designed to take no more than 45 minutes to complete, though it may take some individuals longer than others.

Each course includes a description, learning outcomes, a list of recommended teams, as well as a series of lessons. Every course includes at least one video and one culminating activity. Many courses follow a case study approach in which a group of educators and their use of specific platform features and/or MTSS practices are highlighted.

Each course helps educators to hone their skills in different areas, including data interpretation, data collection, intervention, data-based decision-making, systems thinking, teacher collaboration, use of the platform, and many more. Educators can select the Learning option from the horizontal menu, followed by the Learning Dashboard option to better understand the skills they’re developing.

We currently have a backlog of several different learning modules that we will develop over time.

While there are generally no due dates within the MTSS Learning Hub, your district or school leadership may set internal due dates for completing specific learning modules. Please communicate with them to determine timing for completion of learning modules.
