We work with school districts in over 40 states.

The problem

By the time a referral comes in, the student has already fallen behind

Counselors are stretched. Silent students can fall through the cracks. Districts find themselves firefighting, and they're looking for a more proactive way to find which students need support early.

How it works: a repeating growth cycle

Build capability within your students, without overloading staff

Step 1

Screen every student

Screen window opens, teachers evaluate against 5 key skills and students reflect across 25 sub-skills in areas of need.

Step 2

Tier automatically

Students are automatically grouped* into tiers and skill groups, with dashboards by student, grade, and school.

Step 3

Teach what each student needs

Implement Tier 1 lessons for every class, plus six-lesson intervention plans for Tier 2 and 3 groups, straight from Pulse's K-12 resource library.

Step 4

Demonstrate growth

Reassess each window and see who is moving, alongside attendance and discipline data. Then the cycle starts again.

* In a Johns Hopkins study of 94,693 students, administrators accepted our tier recommendations 96% of the time.
