Unique Learning System Review

Unique Learning System is used as a supplemental curriculum for students who are on Florida Access Points Standards. This program is accessible for teachers who teach these students, as a resource in meeting the rigor of the Access Points standards. Teachers are also able to record student work and monitor data. There are very few resources for students learning on FL Access Points. Unique Learning System is a leader in providing tools to support their learning. That being said, much of the content does not directly correlat to the Florida standards. I believe Everway is aware of this as a company and is responding by bolstering the "Courses" section. It's progress (!), but has lots of room for growth. Our students take standardized tests at the end of the year, so we need to ensure they have quality instruction that aligns to the Access Points. Florida Alternate Assessment Blueprints are a great starting point.

When content aligns to the standards, these tools are indescribably helpful. They take hours upon hours of thought, work, and stress off of a teacher's plate. It's also helpful to rest assured that the content is created and vetted by experts.

The core boards alone are an incredible way to make the content accessible to students with complex communication needs. Having ready-made communication tools that directly correlate to the content are so helpful in reaching students and monitoring their progress. Something as simple as a student using the core board to point to a key topic in the lesson is huge!
