While Wayfinder has offered schoolwide resources for Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for years, its new offering significantly enhances counselors’ ability to plan timely, effective interventions, marking a major expansion of the platform’s utility for school counselors. The tools’ new capabilities enable counselors to easily identify students in need of intervention and access curriculum to facilitate those interventions. Unlike other intervention planning products on the market, Wayfinder houses MTSS-focused content within the same ecosystem as assessments, using student assessment data to automatically recommend lessons and activities that align with students’ demonstrated needs. This makes it easy for counselors to select resources they can directly implement in Tier 2 (small group) or Tier 3 (individual) interventions or tailor for specific students or situations. “When I’m preparing for my counseling sessions, I’ll filter the Activity Library by tier and grade, and it makes my sessions so efficient,” says Stephanie Creamer, a K-8 counselor at George Kevarian School in Everett, Massachusetts. **“The custom formative assessments are definitely helpful in guiding my conversations in session.”** Wayfinder’s intervention planning tools streamline counselors’ workflows, enabling them to create custom intervention plans and download information for goal planning and family communication. With new options to customize formative assessments, counselors can gather the specific data they need and receive Tier 2 and 3 content recommendations to address the issues revealed by that data. **Caseload management functionalities include options in each intervention plan to:** - Set and track goals - Plan targeted interventions, coursework, and strategies - Pin assessments and view progress monitoring - Add notes about student progress or session outcomes “The need for student mental health supports has risen over the past decade, and pressure has been increasing on the counselors and psychologists, who face heavy caseloads and little time to prep between sessions,” says Wayfinder team member and Nationally Certified School Psychologist Shelby Condon, EdS. “Wayfinder's new tools equip counselors with everything they need—from a full intervention cycle curriculum to progress monitoring tools—so they have time to do what's most important: support their students by reinforcing tier 1 work happening in classrooms and providing continuity in care and language.” The product expansion also includes features to support student and staff well-being with a data-driven, districtwide approach. **A new school climate survey lets administrators generate reports and analyze data by segment to identify patterns and trends.** It then recommends content for educators and administrators to address specific climate challenges highlighted by the climate survey data. A new Core Skills Screener gathers snapshots of students’ development of Wayfinder’s Core Skills (Self-Awareness, Adaptability, Empathy, Collaboration, Agency, and Purpose) to better measure skill growth over time and identify students who need targeted support. Expanded Tier 2 and 3 Collections offer more content that counselors can use to address behavioral concerns like elopement, pushback and refusal, and aggression, and support conflict repair and peer mediation. Even more counselors are leaning in to Wayfinder’s data-driven intervention planning approach. **“Wayfinder has made it easy to collect pre- and post-data, which helps in intervention planning and goal setting for my students,”** reports school counselor Najaé Williams, MEd, PPSC, from KIPP Ignite Academy in Los Angeles. “I can track their progress over time and see week-to-week stats to see if another area needs to be addressed or spent more time on. In addition, I've been able to create progress reports using the data Wayfinder collects through assessments to share with other support staff and stakeholders to ensure we are aligned in services for students.” With these new intervention planning tools and expanded counseling and student well-being offerings, schools and districts partnering with Wayfinder have access to data-informed resources and curriculum to empower student thriving and build healthy, supportive school climates.
