We understand...

Managing special education in your district requires a careful balance of ensuring student success, complying with federal regulations, supporting families, and protecting your budget. Outplacements, legal risks, and teacher turnover all add layers of complexity, and the stakes are high. You need solutions that keep students in district, foster family trust, and ensure compliance with IDEA—all while supporting your staff and managing costs.

The ARIS Curriculum empowers your educators with the tools they need to meet student needs, comply with regulations, and reduce costly outplacements. As your partner, we help you deliver measurable results for students, build strong family relationships, and keep your budget on track—all while supporting teacher retention and satisfaction.

Teacher Retention

Retaining skilled special education teachers is essential to ensuring consistent student support and reducing costly turnover. Stages’ ARIS curriculum provides educators with user-friendly tools, ongoing professional development, and classroom resources that reduce burnout and frustration, allowing teachers to focus on their passion: teaching. This not only leads to greater job satisfaction and lower turnover but also saves districts significant costs related to recruitment and retraining. With ARIS, you can boost teacher retention, ensure program continuity, and create a financially sustainable special education program.

Supporting Teacher Satisfaction: Comprehensive tools and training reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in delivering effective instruction, leading to higher teacher satisfaction.
Financial Impact of Retention: Lower teacher turnover minimizes the recurring costs of recruitment and training, providing long-term savings for your district.

Drive Student Success & Ensure Compliance

Navigating the complexities of IDEA compliance is a core responsibility for superintendents. Stages’ ARIS curriculum ensures that your district meets all federal regulations while empowering teachers with the tools to make data-driven decisions. Real-time insights into student progress allow educators to adjust instruction as needed, providing personalized learning plans that align with compliance requirements and support each student's IEP goals.

Data-Driven Instruction: Teachers receive actionable insights on student performance, allowing for real-time adjustments that improve student outcomes while staying compliant.

Keep Students in District & Reduce Outplacements

One of the most significant financial and educational challenges superintendents face in relation to special education is the need to place students out of district due to insufficient resources. With ARIS, teachers have the tools to support students with complex needs in-district, reducing costly outplacements and keeping your budget intact. By providing robust, scalable solutions, Stages helps you ensure that all students can be served within your schools, preventing external placements that strain both your budget and your community.

Reduce Outplacements: Equip your district to support diverse learning needs internally, minimizing the need for costly out-of-district placements.
Cost Efficiency: Retaining students in-district protects your budget from unnecessary outplacement expenses.

Engaging Families & Building Trust

Strong relationships with families are crucial to avoiding litigation and ensuring positive student outcomes. Stages’ family engagement tools help foster open communication and transparency, making families feel supported and involved in their child’s education. By demonstrating measurable student progress and clear instructional goals, your district can build trust, reduce legal risks, and strengthen family partnerships, ensuring that disputes are resolved collaboratively.

Family Engagement: Strengthen relationships with families through transparent communication and real-time updates on student progress.
Litigation Risk Reduction: By building trust and keeping families informed, districts can minimize the likelihood of disputes escalating to litigation.
