Updates to Jump Start the 2022–2023 School Year

n2y Staff

Welcome back to school! We value the effort, time, and heart you dedicate to getting ready for your unique learners. And here at n2y, we’ve been busy preparing to support you. Our updates provide teachers with flexibility and autonomy, administrators with data and visibility, and students with even more engaging, core academic instruction. Check out what we’ve added and enhanced across all our solutions, plus look at what’s coming later this fall!

Characters and Visuals

Students can now see themselves represented throughout Unique Learning System! Updated characters and visuals support educators in building an inclusive community while creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue.

Math Courses

Teachers can now access even more skill-based, standards-aligned math resources to support the needs of their learners. Plus, make math instruction more impactful with instructional courses, assessments, and reports at no additional cost!

Multiple Units and Improved Grade‑Band Flexibility

Coming Fall 2022!

Based on feedback from our customers, we’re working on two additional changes to improve flexibility within ULS. You’ll be able to save valuable planning time with access to multiple instructional units to allow for pacing with general education curriculum. And if teachers have multi-grade band access with several licenses, they’ll be able to assign lessons and activities within those grade bands to any student. Improved access will mean educators have more content for learners and increased flexibility and autonomy for teaching multiple grades in one classroom.

Transition and Pre-K Collaboration Resources

Polaris now has collaboration resources for pre-K through transition! Strengthen the culture of trust in your team with access to new pre-K and transition-age resources for writing IEPs. With brand-new pre-K and transition profiles, assessments, and goals, teams can ensure meaningful IEP planning and student success!

Parent Input Surveys

Ensure all voices are heard as IEPs are developed. The Polaris Parent Surveys empower caregivers and parents to highlight specific student strengths and share concerns.

130 Premade Strategies

Save time with 66 new social narrative and 64 new decision tree strategies! Educators can support behavior management and self-regulation  for all learners with these proactive, customizable strategies that can be used across school settings.

Marker Tool

Strengthen communication, literacy skills, academic concepts, and creative expression with the new Marker Tool. Draw, write, or highlight on individual devices and interactive boards and activities to boost student participation and engagement.

30 Customizable Templates

New templates allow teachers and service providers to customize symbol-supported activities and materials , including communication charts, certificates, calendars, and more!

Games

An array of exciting new academic- and skills-based games  provides engaging, independent practice for students and includes progress monitoring tools to collect data for IEP goals.
