Educational teams struggle to write, manage, and monitor progress on compliant Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that are meaningful based on student data, strengths, and needs. Polaris is one of seven solutions developed by n2y, a company that has set the standard for serving the needs of special education students and their providers by leveraging innovative technology.
Polaris is an online IEP development and progress monitoring solution for teachers to plan, write, execute, and report on IEPs for preschool through transition age students on the general education or extended learning standards. The IEP team is provided with workflow tools, guidance, and IEP writing support through each stage of the IEP focused on compliance and student growth. Polaris includes assessments, profiles, surveys and performance data from n2y solutions to write compliant present level statements.
Polaris also makes recommendations for SMART goals, accommodations, modifications, instructional activities, and additional assessments. After the IEP is written, districts can demonstrate compliance as Polaris ensures teams execute the IEP with fidelity. Caregivers receive reports with easy-to-read visual representations of data and educational resources so they can support their students at home.
“Polaris allows busy teachers to ensure that their goals are SMART, based on assessment data and compliant,” says Stacey Kingsley, an administrator who uses the platform. Rachael Cusick, another administrator, says, “Polaris fits with our daily curriculum and routines. It allows data collection and analysis to happen naturally in our routines. It truly allows our teachers to work smarter not harder. It is truly a teacher and student centered program.”
For these reasons and more, Polaris was named “Best IEP Development Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
