Laura Barbieri, Samantha Jayne, and Sarah Rowse-Borrelli Steps to Empowerment for Secondary Students: Implementing Literacy Interventions that Work Based on 19 years of combined reading intervention experience and 24 years of classroom teaching experience, we have delved into action research with the intent of finding effective reading interventions at the secondary level that work outside of the typical programming available to us. This research and implementation has resulted in identifying effective instructional practices aimed at closing learning gaps more quickly and with long-term results. We will share with you the results of 6 months of action research of reading intervention 7-12 during which we have identified successful learning strategies that empower students to utilize strategies within other content areas. A wonderful benefit to this action research has been the Tier 1 instructional practices aimed toward creating more equity in our instruction with the intention of closing achievement gaps.
