18+ Points Higher Inclusion Rates for California

California districts that partner with Goalbook average an 81% inclusion rate for Indicator 5A, well above the state average of 63%. Romoland Schools is a Supporting Inclusive Practices (SIP) Project Demonstration Site and Goalbook partner.

Support More Inclusion with UDL & SDI

Our resources build a bridge between special education and general education teachers. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) instructional scaffolds and Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) strategies aligned to CA CCSS and NGSS standards are built into Goalbook Toolkit and our professional development, helping educators support their students' needs to learn alongside peers. For easy collaboration, student folders can be shared with teachers even if they don't have a Goalbook Toolkit account. This all leads to greater instructional equity.

Proven Resources for Universal K–2 Literacy Screening Compliance

Goalbook Toolkit has built-in reading assessments to help educators determine a student's literacy needs and establish baseline present levels to write higher-quality IEPs. Educators can take identified literacy deficits from California screeners and manually match them to our library of targeted instructional strategies to support students' reading progress. Research shows that weekly usage of Goalbook Toolkit predicted a 9-percentile gain in student reading assessment scores.

Retention & Improving Educator Effectiveness

Research shows that Goalbook Toolkit is associated with an 8-point increase in retention for early-career special education teachers. And 94% of surveyed educators said that we increase their effectiveness by equipping them to efficiently document data-driven present levels, write measurable goals, and deliver SDI aligned to CA CCSS and NGSS standards.

CDE "Human-First" Artificial Intelligence (AI) Guidance

Goalbook's approach to AI supports the CDE's guidance to empower the human work of teaching and learning, not replacing it. We act as a secure closed loop, and our privacy policy aligns with FERPA. We don't sell your information, and we don't train open-ended AI models. We keep people at the heart and helm of teaching.

We Support Over 300 Districts Across California

Since 2011, we've worked closely with school districts across the state to help improve instructional practice and student outcomes.
