Monday · 7:52 AM

Every student mapped. Nothing to assemble.

Step 1

ARIS comes with all the teaching tools you need

ARIS arrives with everything. You search for nothing.

No scavenging for manipulatives the night before. Open three green tubs, check each item off, and you're teaching day one — every lesson's materials are already in your hands.

The box is identified and it is already in your room.

  • The lesson names the exact kit — no judgment calls
  • It shipped in the green tubs — nothing to order
  • Lose a piece… we replace it fast

Step 2 · One Screen

See your whole class at a glance.

Most Mondays, the first forty-five minutes are gone before anyone learns a thing — digging through binders, rebuilding where each student left off, deciding who needs you first.

A calm Monday: a teacher at a table with four young students doing matching, drawing, and language-card activities in a bright preschool classroom.

Today is planned for every student.

Lessons match goals. You’re ready to go.

That’s the morning ARIS hands back. Every learner is already on the lesson that moves their goal — so those forty-five minutes go to teaching, not assembling the day.

Step 3 · Run The Room

Choreograph the room without juggling.

Lessons are already identified to move each learner toward their IEP goal — see which product each needs, so you can build stations around products, space, time, and the staff you actually have.

Group by product, not by guesswork.

The Product View clusters every student by the exact kit their next lesson needs. One para, one table, one product — and everyone who belongs there is already on the list.

Step 4 · Every Student

Every student, one tap away.

Pick a learner and everything that matters is right there — what's up next, how skills are trending, and what motivates them — so any adult can step in and pick up exactly where you left off.

No more “where’s that student’s binder?”

Profile, preferences, notes, files, assessments, plan, lessons, IEP goals, and reporting — one record, always current, for every learner in the room.

Step 5 · Hours Back

The paperwork does itself.

Every lesson already maps to one of 800+ IEP goals, and the data you take while teaching drives each student's personalized path forward. IEP season stops being a second job.

Progress, present levels, and goal language generate from the data you already take.

Teach the lesson. Track progress automatically.

Because lessons and goals are built on the same framework, every time you enter data, progress toward IEP goals updates automatically. Teachers report saving hundreds of hours across the school year.

Step 6 · One Team

Everyone stays on the same page.

The entire team can easily access shared information to encourage consistency and collaboration — no handoff meeting required.

The whole team, one source of truth.

When all members of the team are looking at the same information, a student never loses momentum because one team member is out.

Built In, Not Bolted On

You don't implement ARIS alone.

Coaching embedded in your platform — and your classroom.

From your first week to your last Tuesday in May, your Stages coach shows up three ways — at the start, on the platform every day, and on the floor with you all year.

From day one

Onboarding that walks you, your paras, and your specialists into ARIS together — what to teach, where the materials live, how data goes in, what good looks like.

Not a 90-minute webinar and a slide deck.

Inside the platform

Your Stages coach is visible inside ARIS — chat, scheduled check-ins, and next-step practice items based on the data you're actually taking. Same place you teach from.

Not a separate phone number you hope someone answers.

In your classroom

Coaching packages with regular onsite visits — modeling, co-teaching, real-time feedback — from light-touch quarterly check-ins to full-immersion monthly support. Whatever it takes to keep your students moving.

Not a binder and a fly-in once.

Walk in ready tomorrow.

A 30-minute walkthrough with our team is the fastest way to see how ARIS fits the students, the materials, and the schedule you already have.
