TeachTown, a leading provider of special education curriculum for students with moderate to severe disabilities, announces today that enCORE has been named a winner in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Best of 2024 - Primary & Secondary Education categories. enCORE is a K-12 standards-first, adapted core curriculum that provides equitable, inclusive access to the general education curriculum for students with moderate to severe disabilities.
Every student deserves equitable and inclusive access to the general education curriculum that complies with state standards. How does an adapted curriculum play a role in accomplishing that for students with disabilities? An adapted curriculum does not change the what when it comes to learning, it simply redefines the how.
Students with moderate to severe disabilities often have communication impairments and difficulty getting their wants and needs met. Teaching language is an essential part of the job of a special educator, and yet, can be extremely complicated. For instance, think of the word “book.” While the word itself may be simple, the student has to be able to apply the word in many different contexts.
