MPOWRD is not just a program—it’s a transformative process designed specifically to align with the busy schedules of school counselors while maximizing student engagement and leadership. Here’s how MPOWRD supports you and your students:
MPOWRD is structured to free up your valuable time. While it’s common for counselors to spend considerable effort managing students facing academic and behavioral challenges, MPOWRD redirects these students from potential disciplinary actions to positive peer-led interactions. This transformation means you can focus more on proactive support rather than reactive measures, ultimately enhancing the overall school environment.
The core of MPOWRD lies in its peer-led approach. Though counselors like you are essential in facilitating and overseeing the program, the sessions are led by the teens themselves. This leadership opportunity not only empowers students but also minimizes the workload on you. Your role becomes more supervisory and supportive, rather than directive, fostering a sense of independence and responsibility among the participants.
Understanding the time constraints educators face, all MPOWRD sessions are pre-planned. Each week, you simply need to provide the necessary materials, which are prepared well in advance. This turnkey solution ensures that implementing MPOWRD is straightforward and hassle-free, allowing you to integrate it seamlessly into your existing responsibilities.
