Unique Learning System

Finally, a curriculum made for the self-contained classroom! I love the flexibility of the program because my students can do it on the interactive display as a whole group lesson, printed to work on as a small group, or on their individual laptops to work on individually. I love the ability to set their levels and differentiate instruction with embedded tools. I love the cross-curricular model with science and social studies standards woven into reading, writing, and math lessons, so that students are truly able to receive instruction that is aligned to grade-level standards in all subjects. My students have grown so much because of the tools that Unique Learning System provides, and it saves me so much time in paperwork, grading, and writing reports. I am constantly discovering new features that save me time and effort. This year we have started using the benchmark feature for beginning of year, middle of year, and end of year testing, and I discovered that doing this, present level statements are generated for me to copy and paste into their annual paperwork. The unit checkpoints help my students prepare for the state standardized testing by providing a similar format. If you are tired of cobbling together an array of resources, then look no further. This is your one-stop-shop for all self-contained curriculum needs.

I use Unique Learning System for benchmark assessment and the progress monitor growth in may students. It also gives my students developmentally appropriate games that help them better access their education. It gives special education teachers another tool to use to support their students who often do not have the necessary resources in the general education setting to receive their free and appropriate education.

I use Unique Learning System as a curriculum for my severe profound students. When I first started teaching I had to adapt all of the curriculum while aligning it to standards. Now, Unique Learning System helps me have already adapted lessons and materials for my students. I have some students with vision impairments who need additional modifications/real objects, but overall it saves me significant time in planning and implementation.

I work in a self-contained autism class that participated in the state alternate assessment. Unique Learning System (ULS) is the foundation of the curriculum I teach. I would be lost without Unique Learning System. It provides a leveled system for differentiation. This provides the supports that students need in order to be successful. Unique Learning System also provides access to SymbolStix which can be used for additional picture supports and creating communication boards for students who are non-speaking. If I did not have access to Unique Learning System, I would have to create a whole curriculum (all four major content areas) for my students. I only have to provide my students with some supplementals to address IEP goals. The only issue I have with Unique Learning System is that I have to rezoom after answering some activities on the smart board in whole group instruction. I use Unique Learning System daily.

We use the program to address the modified grade level curriculum for students that require an alternative curriculum based on cognitive deficits.
