DMGroup Spotlight on Special Education Scheduling
To effectively support students with disabilities and other greater learning needs, scheduling the necessary intervention, special education, and related services is essential. Traditionally, this process has been manual and time-consuming for school leaders. Due to the complexity of scheduling, many schools default to sub-optimal solutions not aligned with best practices, such as pulling students out of core instruction, which results in a significant loss of instruction minutes and hinders student learning.
At District Management Group's Superintendents' Strategy Summit, district and school leaders from Pennsylvania and Illinois shared their experiences using DMSchedules for Special Education scheduling software and discussed how scheduling technology could play a pivotal role in facilitating the creation, coordination, and efficiency of scheduling special education services and ensuring IEP compliance to make the most of staff and student time.?
