Introducing Goalbook Threads
A new Goalbook Toolkit feature that uses AI to elevate IEP coherence and quality.
Leveraging AI to Elevate IEP Coherence
Threads uses advanced AI to provide end-to-end support for special educators. It helps them design coherent, research-based, and standards-aligned IEPs that truly reflect each student's unique needs.
Now, disability-specific research is integrated directly into the IEP development process to ensure every plan maintains the essential “Golden Thread” of special education—seamlessly connecting the impact of a student's disability to their present levels, goals, and instructional strategies.
With Threads, educators are empowered to create more meaningful IEPs that help drive student progress while upholding the highest standards of security and special education practice.
How Threads Enhances Goalbook Toolkit and Instructional Practice
- Improves Research-Driven Individualization
- Threads synthesizes the latest research on disabilities to generate recommendations tailored to each student's unique profile, grade level, and individual needs.
- Deepens Coherence
- With Threads, every part of the IEP is aligned—from impact of disability to present levels to goals and specially designed instruction. This coherence helps ensure that every element works together to support student success.
- Enhances Job-Embedded Professional Development
- This new feature uses AI to augment educator judgment. Threads provides research-backed guidance and recommendations that keep educators in control of every decision, and build their capacity with each interaction.
- Evaluates IEP Quality
- Threads reviews and grades each section of the IEP, then suggests improvements based on research, best practices, standards alignment, and legal requirements.
- Provides District Customization
- Threads is designed to adapt to your local requirements and templates.
- And More!
Security Remains a Top Priority with Threads
Protecting your data isn't just a priority, it's fundamental to our work. Our SOC 2 certification demonstrates our commitment to meeting the highest security standards that tech companies can achieve.
As we integrate AI capabilities into Toolkit, we've implemented rigorous safeguards to maintain that same level of protection. District, educator, and student data remain completely secure: it's never stored within AI systems and never used for AI training purposes.
How to Access Threads in Fall 2025
Threads is already transforming special education practice with select district partners. Their feedback is helping us further improve this new feature before public release in the Fall.
