This session explores how a Colorado school district is addressing adolescent literacy gaps through an innovative model of credit-bearing structured literacy courses for middle and high school students. Presenters will outline the program's development, including teacher training, student placement processes, and implementation strategies. Buidling on a similar session presented at last year's conference, this updated sesssion shares a full year of implementation data, emerging student outcomes, and key lessons learned throughout the rollout. Participants will gain a practical framework for designing and implementing comparable initiatives in their own schools or districts, with the goal of empowering striving readers with the skills necessary for academic success.
