Overall Satisfaction with Unique Learning System

We use ULS for instruction for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

Pros

  • Covers a wide age range
  • Provides leveled materials for differentiation
  • Integrates content areas

Cons

  • There has to be an easier way to assign work and navigate through materials.
  • Symbolated text is not appropriate for every student who needs simplified text, and in fact there is research that says it can make things worse. I would like access to level 1 and 2 without symbols.
  • As admin, we need to know which teachers are administering checkpoints. There is no easy, clear way to do this. Not scores, just if it has been given. This used to exist.
  • The math courses and content need to be improved.
  • We have teachers who need significant support. The interactive lessons now give you an option to open the plan or the student materials. Teachers use two devices to follow along. Is there a way they can open in two or with the teacher instructions clearly attached to the matching student materials? even a thumbnail?
  • PDFs are long and the addes graphics inhibil printing in many cases.
  • The suggested unit plan is helpful - can we start with that on the home screen and link to the teacher plans and student materials from there ?
  • I do not believe it has impacted IEP writing.
Most of our teachers take the theme and expand on it.
Things change frequently without warning. Teachers get used to one way of doing things or accessing materials, and then is goes away.
We stay with Unique because it has more material, more grades and content areas, than others.

Would you buy Unique Learning System again?

Yes

ULS works well to support teachers who know what their students need to learn. Because it offers so much freedom, some areas that students need to receive instruction may get skipped.

The individuals helping have always been great. The response to requests for changes in functionality or reporting less so.
