HCOE is excited to partner with UCSF to offer training for schools using Multitudes as their Reading Difficulties Risk Screener for the 2025–26 school year.

We will be offering a three-part training series designed to support educators in both the administration and instructional use of Multitudes. These sessions help teachers navigate the complexities of reading challenges with confidence, learning to identify struggling readers early and respond with targeted, evidence-based support strategies.

Training Details

Cost: $50 per person (covers all three sessions / costs covered by your district)
Format: August session in-person. All other follow-up sessions virtual links will be sent 5–10 days prior to each session.

From Identification to Action
