Why teachers grab this first

“It's 8pm Sunday. The IEP is open in one tab, the pacing guide in another, and you're connecting them by hand. Again.”

The planning you do in the margins — already finished.

If you've ever spent a prep period cross-referencing a student's goals against the curriculum, this is that work, done once, for all of Module 1. You're not buying a worksheet. You're buying back the hours you'd spend building the bridge yourself.

The method

Closing the gap between the IEP and the classroom.

IEP goals usually live in one binder and the curriculum in another, and the teacher is left to connect them in the margins. This plan does that connecting work up front, for all of Module 1.

THE GAP

One plan, not two

Instead of cross-referencing an IEP against a pacing guide each week, the goals are already placed inside the units and lessons where they're taught — so planning starts from one document.

THE STANCE

Access, not less

Each support lesson pre-teaches the language demands of an upcoming core lesson, so students arrive ready to participate fully. The frame throughout: build access, don't lower expectations.

THE BRIDGE

Pre-K to K, aligned

An included crosswalk aligns the Common Core Kindergarten ELA standards with a developmental Pre-K on-ramp into unified goals — keeping transition and articulation teams working from the same map.

About me

Hi, I'm Melissa Wallace.

I've spent over 15 years as an early childhood educator and more than 10 years as an administrator, which means I've sat on both sides of the planning table — writing IEP goals with families and figuring out how to make those goals live inside everyday core instruction.

I hold a master's in special education and instructional technology, and Throughline grew directly out of that work: the conviction that supporting a student should mean building access, not lowering expectations. These are the resources I wished I'd had on those Sunday nights.
