The challenges Virginia districts are working to solve

Strengthening literacy under the Virginia Literacy Act (VLA)

  • Students struggle to build foundational reading skills without consistent, evidence-based instruction
  • Literacy support varies across classrooms, impacting outcomes
  • Teachers need practical tools to support phonics and reading without adding workload

Delivering consistent special education instruction and aligned IEP support

  • Instruction and supports vary across classrooms and teams
  • IEPs are not always clearly connected to student data and day-to-day instruction
  • Districts need reliable data to demonstrate progress and support compliance

Support evidence-based reading instruction and demonstrate measurable progress with consistent literacy practices and data that strengthen IEP decision-making.

What this looks like in practice

Virginia districts create a more consistent approach to literacy and special education with aligned instruction, accessible supports, and data-informed IEPs. Teachers have practical tools to support diverse learners, while leaders gain clearer visibility into student progress and compliance.

"We saw real growth in our scores while other districts were declining. That’s because we used the data, monthly checkpoints, tracked progress, and trained teachers to act on it.”

Consistent, standards-aligned instruction for students who need significant support

Virginia districts need a structured approach to delivering high-quality special education instruction while ensuring alignment to SOL and supporting measurable student progress.

Unique Learning System (ULS), provides a standards-aligned curriculum with built-in assessment to support consistent instruction and track student growth.

  • Deliver structured, standards-aligned instruction across classrooms
  • Ensure consistency with built-in routines and instructional pathways
  • Measure student progress with reliable assessment data tied to IEP goals

ULS benchmark assessments help teams track skill development and monitor progress toward standards and individualized goals.

Stronger reading outcomes across every classroom

Virginia districts are working to implement evidence-based literacy instruction while ensuring all students can access grade-level content.

With Read&Write, educators can provide embedded literacy supports that help students engage more independently with reading, writing, and assessment.

  • Help students access and understand grade-level content
  • Provide consistent literacy supports across classrooms
  • Reduce teacher workload while improving student independence

More accurate, aligned IEPs supported by clear, data-driven PLAAFPs

As expectations for IEP quality increase, districts need consistent, data-backed documentation. The Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) defines where a student is currently performing and sets the foundation for goals and services.

With Polaris, teams can connect insights across systems to build more accurate and aligned IEPs, starting with stronger PLAAFPs.

  • Create accurate, data-informed PLAAFPs
  • Align goals, services, and instructional decisions to present levels
  • Connect instructional and assessment data to support clearer decision-making

“We have a student who was not able to participate in school at all, but with the addition of speech to text, he was able to participate and engage in many lessons independently.”
