TeachTown is pleased to announce that its flagship curricula, enCORE and Launch for PreK, have both been selected as finalists across multiple categories in The EdTech Cool Tool Awards 2025. The EdTech Awards were established in 2010 to recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the most exceptional innovators, leaders, and trendsetters in education technology.
The buzz around the Science of Reading isn’t just for elementary classrooms. It's critically important in early childhood, too. At the PreK level, it’s not about formal reading instruction but laying the essential groundwork: language development, socialization and play-based learning, and early literacy exposure. Launch for PreK was built with these foundations in mind, fully integrating key components of the Science of Reading into a language-rich, play-focused curriculum that supports early literacy development.
TeachTown Benchmark Assessments include 190+ assessments (average 10-15 items each) across ELA, Math, & Early Learning skills. They have been designed to help you monitor your students’ progress on an individual skill over time and show growth. We recommend teachers administer benchmark assessments 3 times per school year: beginning, middle, and end of year.

As the traditional school year comes to a close, many special education educators are faced with a critical question: how can we ensure students with moderate to severe disabilities continue progressing on their Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals? TeachTown’s enCORE ESY 2025 provides a solution to support educators in delivering engaging, standards-first instruction throughout the summer for Extended School Year (ESY) services.
Like you, we’ve been preparing for next school year for months now! We’re excited to share the instructional resources that will be available for your special educators for School Year 25-26.
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.
The American Consortium for Equity in Education announced that TeachTown was named a winner of the 2024 Excellence in Equity – Industry Impact Award in two categories: Company of the Year - PreK-12 and Early Childhood Solution. The Industry Impact Awards honor the PreK-20 companies, organizations, leaders, and products whose proven results have advanced educational equity and access for learners.
