EmpowerU Partnership
Lakes Country Service Cooperative is excited to announce a new partnership with EmpowerU, a Minnesota based organization committing to increasing student resilience, persistence and success.
The research is clear - every $1 that school districts invest in building social-emotional resilience and student motivation comes back to them 11x over in increased outcomes like attendance and grades. The challenge right now is how to build these vital soft-skills effectively and efficiently, without putting additional strain on your already busy staff - or without the need for additional hires.
Lakes Country and MREA have vetted and approved EmpowerU as a proven SEL solution and are excited to offer special discount pricing to members schools that purchase EmpowerU.
What makes EmpowerU different is that they effectively blend daily online, resilience-building lessons with 1:1 personalized support from masters level online coaches that provide daily encouragement and accountability for students through their texting platform.
EmpowerU seamlessly helps fill the gap in Tier 1 and 2 services for students with social-emotional and mental health barriers. EmpowerU can work within your district’s MTSS framework to successfully equip students with the skills and support they need to re-engage and thrive, before costly escalation to Tier 3.
Students who complete EmpowerU’s 12-week online program not only earn needed credit, they replace anxiety and depression with resilience and persistence - over 93% of students make significant progress in motivation, confidence and wellbeing.
