Unique Learning System

I use Unique Learning System with my classes. I teach students with intellectual disabilities. We are able to differentiate learning with this curriculum so all students have a chance to learn. I have been using Unique Learning System for several years now, almost 10 and each year they get better and better with the learning work pages. The math has made great gains in the different lessons you can teach. The reading passages are strong and while some of the answers are a bit too easy, the advanced questions can really have the students thinking as they are not right there questions.

• The program helps my students be successful in learning
• The program helps with my lesson planning
• The program is a plus with the curriculum it offers.

We use Unique Learning System as our low incidence curriculum in our district wide K-12 sped programs. We have a wide range of students needing to be served on a modified curriculum. Unique Learning System resolves that for us and allows us to differentiate for multiple levels across several grade bands, gives us amazing data - especially trackable data for IEPs, and is always increasing their materials and trainings which leads to more effective use and better access to education for our students.

• Time saved on planning
• Data tracking for IEP goals and objectives
• Evidence of student progress and mastered skills
• Administration's ability to track staff and student usage

We currently use Unique Learning System for our Low Incidence and Low Incidence classrooms as well as in some other classrooms with students that have significant delays. The curriculum provides instruction that is aligned to the SC Alternate Assessment Standards and is aligned to the SC Alternative Assessment.

• It has assisted teachers with meeting IEP requirements
• It has assisted us with providing instruction that is aligned to the standards
• With the exception of planning, it has assisted with planning and following a scope and sequence
• The program also needs to include the books that are referenced in the guides instead of leaving it to the teachers to go and find

I am a K-2 Full Time Autistic Support Teacher at a cyber charter school in Pennsylvania. We use Unique Learning System for our replacement curriculum for our learners, to track and analyze student data and create/plan for new goals, provide valuable information regarding student skill levels, needs, and strengths for our IEPs, and for our local assessments through utilizing their benchmark assessments. I utilize Unique Learning System every day in my whole group, small group, and individual sessions with learners. I utilize it on a weekly basis to monitor and analyze data and on a monthly basis with my supervisor to track my progress towards my SPMs.

• Time on planning - Unique Learning System provides a great pacing guide and lesson plans to use for all of its content. We have made a pace that makes the most sense for us, but are able to pull from the lesson plans different activities, modifications and accommodations, leveling ideas, resources, communication boards, standards, and objectives to provide to our administration.
• Data collection for SPMs - As Polaris keeps track of mastered and progressing goals, our administration is able to open our Polaris account and see in one small snapshot how our learners are doing towards our department goals.
• Quarterly Progress Reports - As all of our data for learners towards their IEP goals are housed in one spot and there is a "progress report" feature embedded within Polaris, it took the job of creating progress reports from taking several days and many hours to 2-3 hours for my roster of 15 learners. It has saved me so much time and energy.

I use Unique Learning System as my curriculum in my special education classroom. This program allows me to teach an alternative curriculum to students who access the general education curriculum through prerequisite skills. I use this program daily to teach whole group lessons, small group lessons, and facilitate independent work on individual computers. The system makes it easy for me to quickly access simple and attainable lessons, and also assess and track progress.

• I have limited planning time due to the extensive demands on my job, so having plans included saves me approximately 5 hours per week that can be used for IEPs.
• Reports run by my coach indicate progress from the pre-tests to post-tests. Also, I am able to use post-tests for an authentic major grade for my students.
• The data reports contain information I use to update IEPs.
