Overall Satisfaction with Unique Learning System
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.
Pros
- Unique Learning System aligns to the standards well
- It provides alternate ways of access including paper based and digital
- It provides supplemental resources for teachers including a suggested pacing lesson to assist with planning
- Customer Service is readily available either through our assigned rep or calling the toll free number
Cons
- Unique Learning System could be improved by providing printable workbooks to accompany the solution instead of having teachers print the materials which consumes time
- The My Plan/Planner is not really easy to use and requires a lot of clicking back and forth between pages which is not efficient when working with students
- The Teacher Manual/Instructional Guide could be in printed form for teacher usage
- 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
This approach has definitely helped with daily instruction by making data easily accessible. The ability to track various areas noted on the profile has been taken away, which is major deficit to the program. That area assisted teachers will using the data to prevent in a graph format and exhibiting it in IEPs.
Unique Learning System has a significant impact on the classroom due to its lessons including functional academic lessons. Students have seen progress in various areas measured by the benchmarks. Unique Learning System's progress monitoring tools are also very effective in supporting IEP progress and having the data to present to parents.
We viewed Encore by TeachTown. The product seemed to be a notch above Unique Learning System and included workbooks and other books but was very expensive. The downfalls of Encore was that it did not include the Profile Assessments like Unique Learning System and also the monthly checkpoints which are very valuable.
