BACK TO ALL EVENTS

Intensive intervention should be a turning point—especially for students with the greatest needs. Join us for a 45-minute webinar to learn how Martin County School District is pairing the science of reading with the science of implementation to strengthen literacy outcomes for striving readers and the educators who support them. 

Hear directly from a district leader as she shares the strategies, structures, and practices that supported strong implementation of SPIRE Up, a blended, intensive Structured Literacy intervention designed to help striving readers in grades 2-8 build foundational reading skills. 

Explore how partnership, educator feedback, and classroom realities helped strengthen deliver, inform program refinements, and accelerate early progress. You’ll leave with practical takeaways district and school leaders can apply immediately to improve intervention initiatives and support teachers. 

Participants will leave with: 

  • A simple, research-based formula for intervention success grounded in implementation science
  • A real-world example of how one district created the conditions for strong implementation
  • Practical strategies to strengthen instructional consistency and implementation fidelity in intensive intervention
  • Insights into how a blended Structured Literacy approach supports targeted, responsive, teacher-led instruction
  • Actionable advice for leaders seeking a more effective, sustainable approach to Tier 3 and special education literacy intervention
