Just in time for the 2025-2026 school year, we’re unveiling a whole new look and feel for enCORE. This refresh is a thoughtfully redesigned user experience that makes teaching easier, faster, and more intuitive. Whether you’re navigating through lessons, prepping your day, or customizing your view, enCORE now gets you there with fewer clicks and less hassle. We’ve also built in new scanning functionality to expand access for students who use mechanical switches. Every student deserves an interface that works for them, and every teacher deserves tools that keep up with their workflow.
TeachTown, a leading provider of special education curriculum for students with moderate to severe disabilities, announces today that enCORE has been recognized as the “Special Education Solution of the Year” in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
As we wrap up our first full school year with Launch for PreK and Language Accelerator in classrooms across the country, we’re taking a moment to reflect, celebrate, and thank the educators who brought these solutions to life. From early learners making meaningful strides toward IEP goals and kindergarten readiness skills, to students with language deficits gaining confidence in communication, this past year has shown what’s possible when high-quality, inclusive instruction meets the hands-on expertise of teachers and specialists.
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.
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.
We’re excited to announce the release of Launch for PreK Extended School Year (ESY), an inclusive 4-week curriculum designed for early childhood students who qualify for ESY services.
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.
Language Accelerator, our personalized technology-based language intervention for students with deficits or delays in any area of language, was built with collaboration and flexibility in mind. We’re excited to introduce three key enhancements designed to make Language Accelerator more comprehensive, more engaging, and even more supportive of student success.
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.
