A tool I've been using with my transition students
Hi [Director Name],
I've been trying Spectrum Shepherd with my transition students and wanted to put it on your radar. It is a modern life-skills curriculum built specifically for transition-age learners, with engaging lessons on digital safety, self-advocacy, vocational skills, community navigation, and daily living.
The free version has been useful, but a pilot is where the real value is unlocked: lessons personalized to each student, and students logging in securely on their own Chromebooks to keep working independently.
For teachers: Shepherd automatically personalizes each student's learning path and significantly reduces lesson planning and activity documentation.
For our team: Student activity becomes clear progress data we can use in IEP reviews, transition planning, compliance discussions, and family meetings.
In its spring beta, 100% of teachers said it was easier to set up and run, 82% reported stronger-than-usual student engagement, and 88% of schools continued using it after the beta.
They're offering schools a 60-day no-cost pilot this fall, and I'd like to sponsor us for one.
Would you be open to a brief 15-minute conversation with their team?
Thanks,
[Teacher Name]
