Universal screening assessments create a systematic process of identifying at-risk students who do not meet grade-level expectations and “fall through the cracks.” The fidelity of this practice means that schools will be using universal screeners three times a year to identify support needs. **About this webinar:** During this webinar, you will learn best practices for using universal screening assessments, how and why we create tiering structures three times a year, and how tiering and universal screening practices can support equity. --- ### [**👉 Access the slides**](https://www.branchingminds.com/hubfs/Downloadable%20+%20Collateral/Webinar%20slides/Tiering%20Webinar%20%2006.02.22.pdf) ### **👉 Additional resources to check out:** - [MTSS & Equity: Is Your MTSS Practice Helping or Hiding Racial Inequities?](https://www.branchingminds.com/blog/mtss-and-equity-is-your-mtss-practice-helping-or-hiding-racial-inequities) - [Best Practices in interpreting student assessment data](https://www.branchingminds.com/blog/best-practices-on-interpreting-student-assessment-data-in-mtss) - Webinar:[ Best Practices on Interpreting Assessment Data](https://www.branchingminds.com/best-practices-on-interpreting-assessment-data-ty) - Webinar: [Using Screening Data to Tier Students in MTSS](https://www.branchingminds.com/using-screening-data-to-tier-students-for-rti-mtss-recording) - [Bringing Disproportionality into the Light of Day to Make a Difference Through MTSS](https://www.branchingminds.com/blog/bringing-disproportionality-into-the-light-make-a-difference-through-mtss) ### **👉 Request a demo** - **Link to [demo request](https://www.branchingminds.com/demo) of the Branching Minds Platform** --- **About the presenters:** **About Dr. Eva Dundas:** Dr. Dundas is the Chief Academic Officer at Branching Minds, where she pursues her mission to bridge the gap between the science of learning and education practice. Dr. Dundas has a Ph.D. in Developmental and Cognitive Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University where she conducted research on how the brain develops when children acquire visual expertise for words and faces. Her research also explores how the relationship between neural systems (specifically language and visual processing) unfolds over development, and how those dynamics differ with neurodevelopmental disorders like dyslexia and autism. She has published articles on that subject in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuropsychologia, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, and Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. Dr. Dundas also has a M.Ed. in Mind, Brain, and Education from Harvard University; and a B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh.     Earlier Event: April 13 [Best Practices for Using SEL Data in MTSS [A Webinar with Athens ISD]](https://www.branchingminds.com/webinars-archive/teacher-sel-imsparked) Later Event: May 12 [MTSS: Improvement Science in Action for Building Better K-12 Education](https://www.branchingminds.com/webinars-archive/mtss-and-improvement-science) [![Footer-logo](https://www.branchingminds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Branching%20Minds%20Theme%20Edits%20-%202020/Footer-logo.png?width=250&height=70&name=Footer-logo.png) ](https://www.branchingminds.com) - ##### Address: Branching Minds 157 Columbus Avenue, 4th FL New York, NY 10023 ### Sign up for our newsletter A newsletter full of product information, blog articles, tips, and other resources for today’s educators ### About Us - [Our Approach](https://www.branchingminds.com/about-branchingminds-response-intervention-rti-mtss-software-solution) - [Data Privacy](https://www.branchingminds.com/data-privacy-practices) - [Careers](https://www.branchingminds.com/careers) - [Awards & Accolades](https://www.branchingminds.com/awards-accolades) - [Accessibility Statement ](https://www.branchingminds.com/accessibility) ### Resources - [Learning Center](https://www.branchingminds.com/learning-center) - [Blog](https://www.branchingminds.com/blog) - [Webinars](https://www.branchingminds.com/webinars-archive) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.branchingminds.com/privacy-policy) - [Trust Center](https://trust.branchingminds.com) ### Solutions - [MTSS Platform](https://www.branchingminds.com/solution-response-intervention-software-app-rti-mtss) - [Data Integrations](https://www.branchingminds.com/integrations) - [Professional Services](https://www.branchingminds.com/mtss-professional-learning) ### Contact Us - [ Request a demo ](https://www.branchingminds.com/demo) - [ info@branchingminds.com ](mailto:info@branchingminds.com) ### Follow Us - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/branchingminds) - [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/branching-minds) - [** ](https://twitter.com/branchingminds?lang=en) - [** ](https://www.youtube.com/@BranchingMindsMTSS) © 2025 Branching Minds, LLC.
