How to use Unique Learning System?
Unique Learning System is a comprehensive special education curriculum designed for teachers and service providers working with students from Pre-K through transition age. To use ULS, educators can follow its standards-aligned lesson plans, use built-in pacing guides, and assign differentiated activities that support each student’s IEP goals. ULS provides ready-made special education resources, interactive lessons, and assessments to make lesson planning easy, quick and effective, while progress tracking tools monitor student growth. Teachers can use monthly thematic units and additional courses like Science of Reading modules to support foundational literacy.
What is the Science of Reading?
The Science of Reading is an evidence-based approach that focuses on how children learn to read, emphasizing essential literacy skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. ULS provides Science of Reading-aligned courses and strategies to make sure special education students build foundational reading skills through structured and research-backed methods. This approach helps every learner achieve literacy goals in a way that aligns with their needs.
What is an adapted curriculum in special education?
An adapted curriculum in special education refers to modifications made to instructional content, teaching methods, and special education resources to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. The ULS special education curriculum adapts and differentiates content to meet each student's unique learning needs. This approach provides standards-aligned instruction, giving students equitable access to engaging and accessible lessons.
How to modify curriculum for special education students?
Modifying curriculum for special education students involves tailoring lessons and content to meet individual learning abilities and IEP goals. ULS simplifies this process by providing special education resources, differentiated lesson plans, and automatic data collection to monitor progress. Teachers can adjust lesson difficulty, pacing, and teaching methods using ULS's flexible content to address the needs of each student, allowing for individualized instruction that supports their academic growth.
What is a curriculum-based assessment in special education?
A curriculum-based assessment in special education monitors a student’s progress and skills using the material and activities provided by the curriculum itself. ULS offers built-in assessments and progress-monitoring tools that align with its lesson plans, helping teachers track student growth and measure performance against state standards and IEP goals. This approach ensures that educators can make data-driven decisions tailored to the needs of each student while highlighting clear progress toward educational objectives.
