What The Provider Says:

GL School Solutions’ proven approach to promoting greater achievement within K-12 special populations centers on its award-winning ENCORE!™ software. ENCORE!™ helps districts to better manage their special education programs by enabling them to:
• Produce goal-oriented IEPs that are automatically checked for compliance
• Support successful achievement of IEP goals and AYP goals by giving teachers more time to spend with students
• Ensure accountability through built-in compliance checks on forms and meetings
• Reduce paperwork with electronic forms that are easy to access and update
• Increase revenue recovery by reporting on all children who receive services
• Document all actions using intuitive, web-based screens that are easy to learn
• Increase efficiency by providing 24x7 access to student histories, forms, and other special education information
• Automatically schedule future meetings in accordance with district timelines
• Improve staff satisfaction by reducing the time spent on meetings

District staff can shift resources back to enhancing the educational opportunities and services provided to the special education student population. Because ENCORE!™ minimizes hands-on administrative tasks, monitors forms completion for compliance, and provides ready access to information needed for managing and monitoring the day-to-day tasks. Increased focus on student outcomes often leads to greater staff satisfaction and to reduced staff turnover and its attendant costs.

ENCORE!™ is the most sophisticated and comprehensive special education data management system on the market today.

And, thanks to a new service deployment model, ENCORE!™ is now available to districts with student populations of 10,000 and under.

It lifts the immense burden of paperwork from special education professionals so they can focus on the most important part of their work: educating children and improving student achievement.

The 4GL ENCORE!™ product suite is a complete enterprise solution that manages special education workflow and compliance functions, and also allows districts to process data through the complete Medicaid data collection, electronic claiming and reimbursement cycle.

ENCORE!™ is a fully web-based system built on Microsoft’s .NET architecture, and has earned Microsoft’s elite Gold Certification.

In addition, ENCORE! has recently received SIF Certification. This important certification, granted by the Schools Interoperability Framework Association, assures educators that ENCORE! will work together with other SIF-certified programs with a minimum of special programming or significant modifications to the software.

4GL has a proven track record of working in partnership with large school districts to achieve demonstrable results with ENCORE!™, including relieving staff of administrative tasks so they can focus on student outcomes.
