Special education is an integral part of the total educational enterprise, not a separate order. In any school system, special education is a means of enlarging the capacity of the system to serve the educational needs of all children. LEGO Education solutions provide unique learning experiences to support all learners. In addition, LEGO Education solutions provide a safe, non-threatening entry point for all students to engage in learning through LEGO bricks.

Moreover, LEGO Education professional learning opportunities differentiate types of support needed, modalities engaged, and instructional strategies deployed. LEGO Education provides job-embedded, ongoing professional learning opportunities for educators to ensure sustainability and continuous professional growth.

Research show that students learn best when learning is active, when they are engaged in hands-on lessons and activities and involved in what they are learning. When students use all of their senses, it helps the brain create pathways that make it easier and quicker to retain information. LEGO Education is adequately prepared to support high-quality teaching and learning practices to support the expert instruction needed for all students to be successful in their respective grade levels and for the future.
Title IV, Part A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment
The future of the nation depends on students having a high-quality, well-rounded education that will prepare them to successfully compete on a global stage and engage as citizens.
