Workload Comparison Toolkit featuring Justifiable Educational Therapy Hours (JETH)
Special education teams are balancing increasing student needs with limited time and resources. Yet many systems still rely on caseload-based models that don’t fully reflect the complexity of real-world service delivery.
The JETH – Workload-Based Data Collection Tool tracks time spent on direct services, collaboration, documentation, and family communication—helping districts achieve equitable workload distribution and transparent staffing justification using real-time data.
Our Workload Comparison Toolkit, built on the Justifiable Educational Therapy Hours (JETH) model, supports districts in implementing a more sustainable and collaborative system—one that enhances compliance, efficiency, and student outcomes while validating the true scope of related service work.
