Your ability to effectively implement our suite of solutions is our top priority here at TeachTown. We don’t succeed unless you do, which is why our Product Enablement Division was designed to provide comprehensive training and support services that fosters fidelity of instruction with your students with disabilities.

Our Product Enablement Division includes a Client Success team, along with a Product Enablement team, both of which wholeheartedly understand the unique needs and challenges that arise in special education.

“Having knowledgeable contacts at TeachTown who can troubleshoot, brainstorm, and  collaborate with our team so quickly and effectively has meant no teacher has been left feeling unsupported or unable to provide the best services for our students.” – Schuele Batenhorst, M.Ed, Coordinator of Special Education and Instruction

Successful Implementation Starts Here

Each of TeachTown’s solutions have been designed for easy implementation. As part of our commitment to enhancing teacher satisfaction and outcomes for your students with extensive support needs, we offer various types of professional development — on-site training & coaching, virtual training & coaching, intervention training & coaching, and on-demand training & support.

enCORE Professional Learning Series

Implementing a K-12 Standards-Based, Adapted Core Curriculum with Fidelity

Our team has built a three-part series – enCORE 101, 102 and 103 – to help special educators confidently and effectively implement our K-12 standards-based, adapted core curriculum with students.

Professional Services

enCORE 101, 102 and 103

In enCORE 101, teachers learn how to teach a lesson in enCORE. The goal is to walk away feeling confident that they know how to navigate the platform and deliver differentiated instruction using both print lesson materials and technology lessons on Day 1 of instruction.

enCORE 102 is all about data! Teachers learn how to collect and analyze data in all subject areas using all the resources available to them, including the lesson plans, worksheets, materials, and technology.

In enCORE 103, professional learning focuses on the different reporting options available in enCORE and how to use the data from those reports to guide IEP goal development. Teachers walk away with concrete next steps on how to input their IEP goals and collect data toward student progress.

Each 3-hour session targets specific skills that help special educators and their teams incorporate enCORE into their daily routines while reducing their overall planning burden.

After completing the full series, teachers will understand how to teach all core academic subjects in a blended learning model by using the scripted lesson plans, worksheets, and materials, as well as the online learning technology found in enCORE.

On-Site or Virtual – We’ve Got You Covered

Regardless of whether you schedule on-site or virtual professional development for your facilitators, we will ensure your staff is comfortable and prepared to implement the curriculum immediately upon returning to their classrooms. Of course, if questions pop up after training or coaching occurs, your staff will always have access to a dedicated TeachTown representative who can help. All participants who attend a training session will receive contact information for a Product Enablement Specialist as well as their dedicated Client Success Manager for help along the way.
