Our Values
Every student with a disability deserves access to a high-quality, standards-aligned education.
We believe students should have access to meaningful instruction, appropriate supports, and opportunities to succeed.
Strong systems lead to strong outcomes.
Effective special education requires clear, aligned systems that support consistency across classrooms, teams, and programs.
Families are essential partners.
Families play a critical role in supporting student success and should be meaningfully included, informed, and respected throughout the process.
Collaboration is critical.
The most effective support happens when general education, special education, and leadership are aligned and working together.
Sustainable change comes from building capacity.
Our goal is not just to support in the moment, but to strengthen systems and teams so the work continues long-term.
“There are several benefits that I have experienced from having the privilege of working alongside Glynis Shulters with Layered Education. Glynis has been invaluable in helping us develop and expand our lens as a charter organization in our approach to teaching our students and collaborating with our colleagues. Through the work performed under the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Glynis has supported our school sites in training our staff in productive reflective processes with protocols which are adaptable for multiple types of data analysis, problem solving and planning purposes. As of result of my direct collaboration with Glynis, my skills as an educator have been fine tuned in numerous areas because of her guidance and support.”
