Unique Learning System is a resource designed specifically to help students with moderate to significant support needs master their state’s extended standards. From one convenient, cloud?based platform, educators deliver differentiated, standards?aligned content enhanced by powerful assessments, data tools, and evidence?based instructional support. Students from pre-K through transition have the advantage of consistent, high-quality instruction, a motivating interactive learning environment, engaging symbol support, and a path to independence.
Unique Learning System includes monthly units with each grade band of differentiated lessons, and standards-aligned content for ELA, math, social studies & science, and transition. In addition to an abundance of teaching materials, ULS allows teachers and case managers to assess students' learning using the GPS tool which has differentiated assessments, with the ability to progress monitor students throughout their PreK- T experience.
