"Awesome Curriculum for Students with Disabilities"

5/5

What do you like best about Unique Learning System?

I like the ease of use of this website . This curriculum is already differentiated according to a student's ability and it is designed thematically every month so it fits the lessons we use in the classroom. It has text to read features which allows students who has reading challenges to still read and access materials . It has a lot of visual cues to make the curriculum understandable and accessible for all students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unique Learning System?

I hope they can expand their units with embed videos so we are able to use those as a resource when we are teaching the lessons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Unique Learning System solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use ULS as our main curriculum for my class . I like the ease of use of this website and I had organized my class around the monthly themes . The activities are well organized and can easily be taught to kids- its like having the same platforms for the activities but the content varies every month.

"Unique Learning System in Special Education"

5/5

What do you like best about Unique Learning System?

I thoroughly enjoy using this software. I have used it for seven years now as a special education teacher in a self-contained classroom. I think it is very appropriate for students with mild disabilities all the way to students with severe and profound disabilities. I love the picture symbol text, read-aloud feature, and all the assessment features. I utilize the GPS feature, which allows for pre and post-assessment during a typical school year, accompanied by graphs and charts to help monitor student progress. It is an excellent software for students with disabilities. It is also very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unique Learning System?

There are very few things I dislike about the Unique Learning System. The only complaints I can acknowledge are the topics on occasion. They can be irrelevant or complex for my students to understand. Sometimes, they are just unenjoyable. This is not all of the time, and there are often various options to choose from, allowing our class to explore and find better topics within the software. The downsides of using the software come when utilizing a typical book or other reading opportunities without the picture symbol feature - students have become used to the ULS system and are unable to follow along, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Unique Learning System solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ULS allows my students to engage in their English language a experience in a way that they were otherwise unable to before the addition of the software to our classroom. The program allows teachers to individualize student reading comprehension based on their abilitiy level. There are assessments for every lesson at multiple levels; therefore, all students can be assessed on the same lesson in different formats. The software contains a variety of sources for each lesson in all content areas with a basis in reading comprehension. This feature allows a teacher to address multiple content areas in one lesson. There are many benefits to using this software in a self-contained special education classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not Teacher Friendly and quite tedious to implement."

0/5

What do you like best about Unique Learning System?

There is an easy process to share with other teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unique Learning System?

The system is not easy to maneuver. There is no consistency in the placement of icons and buttons. Teacher is given a multitude of items to document and the need to add time limits does not work for the population of students that need a lot of parent/guardian support.

Truthfully, I don't understand the concept. Which students get what assignments and which students are to be assigned separate assignments? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unique Learning System:

Make sure you request an in-person ULS come to help you set up and explain the system to your satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Unique Learning System solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides the state standards for the lessons and has a large number of videos to help with the process. However, the videos begin to add to the complexity of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Middle School All 5 Academic Subjects"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Unique Learning System?

I think it has potential in reading, even though it is easy for my higher readers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unique Learning System?

Math--it's either too easy or too hard. Example: Word problems are broken down into just addition or subtractions. My students need to learn vocabulary to be able to determine if they should add or subtract. Too hard when it comes to Algebra, which is not particularly a real world topic.

Science--Not enough material. One experiment cannot last three days. Science is needed daily and monthly for a 50 minute block.

Social Studies---Is there even social studies curriculum???? So little it seems like none. Plus it's not relevant to Georgia's standards. There is also nothing for the 6th and 7th grade curriculum. I teach 50 minutes of social studies daily. Not 20 minutes here and there. There are less than 10 extra practice social studies and each of those can be done in one day not spread over 3.

Language Arts--when you give students a writing prompt, it seems you just think they will write. The students need several choices to choose from plus word boxes and sample sentence starters. A random topic doesn't work. Also, students can't just edit their own work. They have to learn basic editing skills taught in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unique Learning System:

Make sure you know what you're buying and who your target audience is. Our district is trying to use this as a one-fit model for all special education students not on GA Milestones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Unique Learning System solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm not solving any problems. This program is causing me more work trying to work around it. For reading it is fine, but all other subjects are splintered at best. I don't have time to piece-mill a lesson together. It is lacking on many levels. The web design itself is frustrating for me. It's not user friendly. I would not recommend this program to anyone except for Reading and even then, the selections are not challenging to our higher readers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
