Making Academic + Personal Success a Reality

All across the U.S., students with disabilities have the right to high-quality curriculum that drives measurable gains in academics and improves adaptive functioning skills. All students deserve an education that inspires them to be lifelong learners.

With award-winning enCORE, schools now have an opportunity to give their students with moderate to severe disabilities equitable and inclusive access to the general education curriculum.

Finally, our most complex learners have the tools they need to experience academic and personal success.

“My son’s life changed forever. My practically nonverbal son, that had been learning the same thing repeatedly for years, suddenly showed that he knew more than what anybody could imagine. In more than a year my son can now read, spell simple words, answer yes/no, can do simple addition and subtraction, count money, time and much more. Just because he was not able to talk, or answer, didn’t mean that he didn’t know the answers…TeachTown was so amazing for my son.” – S.D., Parent

Through enCORE, TeachTown delivers an adapted core curriculum that is tailored to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. enCORE is more than just curriculum—it’s a pathway to student success that combines:

✔ Hands-on, print-based materials and resources for tactile, engaging learning experiences
✔ Integrated technology that drives personalized learning pathways through machine learning
✔ Evidence-based instructional strategies proven to support student growth

All TeachTown programs, including enCORE and its supporting interventions, are grounded in research for this student population and incorporate evidence-based instructional practices. These programs provide systematic, explicit instruction and integrate essential supports such as prompting, reinforcement, visuals, and more to meet the diverse needs of students.

Adapted Curriculum
“I’ve been using TeachTown’s enCORE solution in my self-contained classroom for the last three years. Once I got set up, the solution was easy-to-implement, logical and effective. I love that all of the lesson plans repeat a pattern, with sequencing, comprehension and phonemic awareness. The manipulatives and workbooks allow for hands-on activity in the classroom, which also boosts student engagement…The scaffolding of the material has produced great results with my students.” – Heather K., Special Education Teacher

Supporting the Whole Child

Education is more than academics – it’s about empowering students to thrive in every aspect of their lives. TeachTown’s approach extends beyond core instruction to support the adaptive, social, language, communication, and transition needs of students. By aligning evidence-based interventions with our curriculum, we ensure that every student has the tools to build independence, confidence, and lifelong skills.

Closing the Opportunity Gap

We are dedicated to closing the opportunity gap for students with moderate to severe disabilities by providing them with the same rigorous, high-quality educational experiences as their peers. Historically, students with complex learning needs have been underserved and underrepresented in general education, despite their right to a free and appropriate education. Research shows that when these students have access to structured, evidence-based instruction, they can – and will – achieve meaningful academic and personal outcomes.

enCORE Is …

Designed by Experts

We are a team of master educators with over 350+ combined years of service in the classroom. The TeachTown team understands how complex students learn best. All enCORE lessons adhere to evidence-based teaching practices and the science of learning, including the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and systematic, explicit instruction and the key components of the Science of Reading in English Language Arts.

Blended Learning

Meet the wide array of learning and behavioral needs in your classroom with a strategic blend of hands-on, teacher-led instruction and technology-facilitated lessons. Every single unit and lesson segment in enCORE is structured to flow through a gradual release of responsibility, guiding students from exposure to mastery. Whether you’re modeling how to make a prediction during a read aloud in a whole group setting, practicing single-digit addition in small groups with discrete trial training, or monitoring student progress during independent work time, enCORE helps you do it all because your students need it all. Teachers have the flexibility to structure their classrooms based on their student needs, technology, and support professionals. The result? 

Instruction is tailored to individual student IEP goals and learning objectives. Academics and behaviors improve because learning is ‘just right’ for each student.  In addition to our responsive learning platform, enCORE boasts an expansive adapted reading library based on classic children’s literature, complete teacher guides, accompanying student workbooks, and additional classroom materials, like math and science manipulatives.

Data-Driven

enCORE is constantly analyzing student progress and responding with tailored learning activities. You can be confident that your students are practicing within their zone of proximal development – not too easy and not too hard. When students are appropriately challenged, interfering behaviors decrease and student engagement and academic growth increase.

Comprehensive

New and veteran teachers alike are equipped with scripted, differentiated lesson plans that anchor all instruction with what works. Whether you’re brand new to teaching or entering your 20th year in the classroom, our teacher guides give you everything you need to be successful in your classroom.
