We’ll also cover how to train teachers to complete the SRSS-IE and incorporate SDQ and other screener scores into the platform. By the end of this session, you’ll feel confident using Branching Minds to track and monitor data for SEL interventions and surveys, helping you collaborate with educators to support the social-emotional development of students.
