8. PERSONAL REFLECTION OF “SOFTWARE HELPS SCHOOLS MANAGE SPECIAL POPULATIONS” This article helped cement to me why Encore is such an amazing tool for special needs students. While reading this article, I was amazed that in just the San Diego Unified School District this program was going to help and serve the needs of 15,000 special needs students. I also find the whole portion on transfer students very interesting. I know the information on students on Encore can only be transferred immediately online if the student comes from a school that previously had Encore. I think it should be a goal that every school in America used this system. Not only would it save a lot of time, but it would also help special needs students. It would give teachers more time to actually spend with them on lessons and less time with them shuffling through piles and piles of paperwork. I also took note of the portion where this article discussed how using Encore to process information about the student could actually help speed the process of getting materials for a special needs student. Encore would help the teacher know what books the student needs, whether the student requires large print, what exactly the disabilities of a student are, etc.
