Helping Achieve Better Results for Students with Disabilities

Despite the hard work of so many caring people and ever-increasing spending, the achievement of students with disabilities and of other students who struggle remains a source of frustration and disappointment for many districts nationwide. These students deserve better, not more of the same. Fortunately, best practices exist that can provide much better outcomes for students and a more rewarding, sustainable job for teachers without draining the budget—a true Win-Win-Win.

Drawing on our past experience helping hundreds of districts improve special education, our team of experts will perform an in-depth analysis of current practices in your district and identify what is working well and areas for growth. With a clear picture of current practices, we’ll provide a comparison to best practices and to those of like districts. Our review will culminate with key recommendations for high-impact opportunities to raise the achievement of students with disabilities and other students who struggle without draining the budget. As a final step, we’ll facilitate a planning retreat to help your team begin the important work of turning these ideas into reality. 

For some districts, having dedicated, ongoing support throughout implementation of the recommendations from a Special Education Opportunities Review makes all the difference. Our team has extensive experience putting these recommendations into action to deliver results for students with disabilities and students with greater learning needs and is available to support smooth and effective implementation in the district.

For teams looking to deepen their understanding of the best practices proven to help students with disabilities and students who struggle, we offer customized, interactive professional development sessions designed to meet your district’s specific learning goals.

The research is clear: individual teacher effectiveness is the most powerful school-based predictor of student outcomes. Building teacher capacity and retaining highly effective teachers is essential to delivering better results for kids. Our team of experts can help your district rethink and reshape the work of special educators to improve their experience and job satisfaction while also delivering better supports for students without draining the budget.

New Solutions K12 is proud to have served as a partner to state education agencies in their efforts to bring about widespread improvement for students across their states.
