In a rigorous 6-month study of enCORE Elementary in a K-5 self-contained classroom, students gained, retained, and generalized targeted ELA and Math skills.
“enCORE boasts a strong foundation of evidence-based practices that have consistently proven to be effective for students with moderate to severe disabilities,” shares Margaret Onisick Lawless, chief product officer, TeachTown. “Designed with measurable student outcomes in mind, enCORE is structured to flow through a gradual release of responsibility, appropriately challenging students as they are guided from exposure to mastery.”
