Commitment to Student Outcomes
Dr. Gena Koster, the Assistant Superintendent of Special Populations for Tulsa Public Schools, shared insights on their mission: "When we first began exploring resources to redesign our special education program, we recognized the need for curricula grounded in evidence-based methods that deliver measurable results. We also sought reliable data tools to monitor student progress and robust professional development opportunities to ensure consistency and ensure long-term success across all classrooms." TeachTown not only met these ambitions but provided a data-driven PreK-12+ Whole Child Approach that surpassed their expectations.
Innovative Curriculum Offerings
With identified areas for improvement in mind, Tulsa Public Schools collaborated with TeachTown to address their students' academic, behavioral, and adaptive needs through innovative programs:
Comprehensive Early Childhood Curriculum
The Launch for PreK initiative provides a comprehensive, inclusive early childhood curriculum tailored for special education students aged 3-5, ensuring young learners receive the foundational skills they need.
Adapted Core Curriculum
The enCORE program is a standards-first, adapted core curriculum designed to facilitate equitable and inclusive access to the general education curriculum, catering to diverse learning needs.
Learning Interventions
Additionally, TeachTown offers supporting learning interventions that extend core instruction. These interventions are tailored to address the adaptive, social, language, communication, and transition requirements of students, ensuring they receive comprehensive support.
