Recommended adoption plan
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–2
Pilot with 3–5 teachers
Select one campus. Have 3–5 SPED teachers use the IEP Builder and Goal Intelligence Center with their next IEP due. Collect feedback. Time how long it takes vs the previous process. Compare goal quality.
Phase 2 · Weeks 3–4
Onboard the District Template Engine
Upload your district's PLAAFP and progress report templates. Have the pilot teachers use them. Verify field detection accuracy and output quality against your district's formatting expectations.
Phase 3 · Month 2
Campus-wide rollout + professional development
Use the SPEDGenie teacher tutorial at spedgenie.com/tutorial-teacher for onboarding. Schedule a 45-minute campus PD session using the district slide deck. Set expectations: SPEDGenie writes drafts — teachers review and sign off on every IEP.
