Introduction
Welcome to the Inspire Educator Implementation Guide. The guide does not need to be completed in a single session; you are welcome to pause and return at any time to fit your schedule and learning needs. Educators who actively engage with the practice opportunities, interactive activities, and reflection prompts will gain the greatest benefit from the experience.
What is Inspire?
Inspire is a skill-based intervention program guiding students from teacher-led instruction to independent learning as they acquire skills to support their specific areas of need. Inspire includes targeted, differentiated resources that simplify the intervention process for educators as they identify skill gaps and deliver instruction. Engaging lessons and activities expose students to critical standards-aligned skills while promoting strong learning connections and generalization across subjects.

A proven path from intervention to independence
Inspire begins by establishing which skills need intervention and the level of support required.

Inspire offers differentiated, and standards-aligned content built upon the latest research and evidence-based practices, like Science of Reading.
