Counselors

Welcome School Counselors!

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:

Time Efficiency for Counselors:

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.

Teen-Led Sessions:

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.

Pre-Planned Sessions:

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.

Transforming Student Behavior:

Students who engage in MPOWRD demonstrate significant improvements in behavior, attendance, and academic performance. By participating in the program, students learn to own their choices and develop leadership skills, which translates to improved classroom behavior and reduced disciplinary issues. This positive change not only benefits the students individually but also enhances the overall atmosphere of the school.

Comprehensive Support:

MPOWRD provides ongoing support to counselors through training, resources, and a community of practice. This ensures you have everything you need to successfully implement and sustain the program, along with the opportunity to connect with other counselors to share insights and strategies.

Join Us in Making a Difference:

By integrating MPOWRD into your school, you’re not just adopting a program—you’re championing a movement that empowers students to lead and excel. Let’s work together to create an environment where students thrive as leaders, learners, and positive influencers.
