Participants in this two-day course will learn how to assist struggling readers at the secondary level through concentrating on 3 essential elements:

"With a strong multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework in place, schools can get the majority of students meeting grade-level benchmarks quickly by focusing on core instruction.
This toolkit can help in creating a plan for using spring universal screening data to address widespread learning gaps this fall during Tier 1 instruction while reserving valuable resources for those who need them most.
It also includes worksheets, action steps, and other resources to help teams confidently make data-driven decisions about providing targeted support at the Tier 2 or 3 level for the students who have substantial academic and social-emotional behavior needs.

EmpowerU is a highly personalized, self-paced online program designed to be a Tier 2 support. By pairing interactive daily lessons with one-on-one support from online experts in adolescent mental health, EmpowerU equips students with the skills to build persistence, resilience, and success.
At the summation of the course, students re-engage with initial assessment to measure their progress. These assessments compare their achievements to the goals they set at the beginning of the course.
One North Dakota student wrote: “This course opened me up and taught me several different, healthy techniques. When I’m feeling anxious or stressed. It showed me how to use my inner coach more than my inner critic. I really enjoy this course. I appreciated all the feedback I got from the instructor. I also like all the relevant information I learned, and then I’ll continue to use the rest of my life.”
