California’s Alternate Pathway to a Diploma presents an important opportunity and a significant responsibility for special educators working with students with moderate to severe disabilities. For students with significant cognitive disabilities who qualify for the California Alternate Assessment (CAA), this pathway ensures access to a meaningful, standards-aligned high school diploma that can open doors to future academic, vocational, and life goals. But supporting complex learners on this pathway requires more than compliance. It requires an appropriately rigorous, adapted core curriculum that meets each student where they are – without lowering expectations.

Whether you’re navigating through lessons, prepping your day, or customizing your view, enCORE now gets you there with fewer clicks and less hassle.
