Louisiana Leaders: Intensive Intervention That Works

Intensive intervention should be a turning point—especially for Louisiana students with the greatest needs.

Join us for a 45-minute webinar designed specifically for Louisiana educational leaders, featuring Julia Carlson from EPS Learning for an inside look at how structured, research-based intervention can drive stronger literacy outcomes for striving readers. Learn about a recent success story and how SPIRE Up moved the needle for struggling readers in elementary and middle school.

In this session, Julia will walk through SPIRE Up, a blended Structured Literacy solution designed for students in grades K–8+, and lead a live demo so you can see the program in action. You’ll explore how explicit instruction, built-in supports, and flexible implementation help educators deliver consistent, impactful intervention. Whether you're supporting Tier 3 or special education, you’ll gain practical insights to strengthen your approach and better meet the needs of struggling readers.  

Participants will leave with:

• A clear understanding of how SPIRE Up supports intensive intervention

• Practical strategies to improve instructional consistency and effectiveness

• Insights into a blended Structured Literacy approach for targeted, teacher-led instruction

• Actionable ideas to strengthen intervention in Tier 3 and special education settings

• Real-world best practices showing the impact of SPIRE Up in the classroom
