Employees at top companies are mastering AI skills with the Workplace AI Institute
You already do the hardest job in the building. Let AI handle the paperwork.
You got into special education to help students, not to spend your evenings writing IEPs. But between managing caseloads of 25+ students, drafting PLAAFP statements, writing measurable goals, tracking progress data, and keeping up with compliance deadlines, the paperwork can feel endless. Over 80% of special education teachers report emotional exhaustion, and one in four leaves the profession every year.
AI can take the first pass at an IEP goal, draft a behavior intervention plan from your notes, adapt a reading passage to three different levels in seconds, and turn raw assessment data into a clear progress summary. This course shows you exactly how to do all of that while staying FERPA-compliant and meeting IDEA requirements.
