Polaris
Description
Polaris is an Individualized Education Program (IEP) software application used for drafting IEP goals, monitoring student progress, and collecting data related to special education programmes.
Developed by Everway, the platform provides tools for special education teachers to create SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) IEP goals and manage the documentation process associated with Individualized Education Programs. It includes features for progress monitoring, data collection, and the generation of reports required as part of the IEP process.
The software is designed to support the workflows of educators working with students who have additional learning needs in primary and secondary education settings. Polaris forms part of Everway's wider portfolio of assistive technology and special education products, which includes tools such as Read&Write and Equatio.
The platform is typically used within school districts and individual schools in the United States, where IEPs are a statutory requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Functionality includes goal libraries, progress tracking dashboards, and data entry interfaces intended to reduce the administrative burden on case managers and special education staff.
