There’s no slow season in special education. The work is complex, constant, and profoundly important. Every day, teachers, specialists, and administrators show up with patience, creativity, and heart, finding ways to make learning work for every student, no matter what the day brings. At TeachTown, we know this isn’t easy work. It’s the best and hardest job there is, and we’re endlessly grateful to be part of the solution. This year, our focus was clear: build curriculum and platform tools that make teaching smoother, data smarter, and learning more accessible.
Helping our students grow into confident, capable adults means giving them the ability to connect classroom learning to the real world. For students with moderate to severe disabilities, regularly integrating current events into instruction is an essential bridge to this independence. While we recognize this can be challenging to implement, this practice builds necessary background knowledge and helps students better understand the community and world around them.
We took your feedback seriously. Teachers and administrators asked for a more intuitive layout, easier access to content, and better visibility into where they are within a unit – and the result is a newly modernized enCORE interface that delivers on all fronts.

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.
