What BanqO is
BanqO is a web platform for creating, managing, and reviewing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Programs. Its goals directory covers learning needs for students aged 4–21 and contains more than 25,000 goals. BanqO describes the goals as aligned with the Quebec Education Program and linked to Quebec Progression of Learning standards, and says it can accommodate education standards in other provinces and countries. Users can tailor goals to students, add criteria and conditions, and collect goals for reuse. Team members can share plans and exchange notes by email, while tools support monitoring, reviews, student progress reports, and PDF downloads for printing. BanqO is aimed at students, parents, teachers, remedial teachers, psycho-educators, and other IEP stakeholders. The web service has no free plan; individual subscriptions cover one user and that user's students, while schools and institutions need group packages. Pricing starts at 900/yr, and subscriptions begin after a 10-day free trial unless canceled.
