Breaking Down Barriers: How Student Success Systems Transform Support in Schools

In episode six, we welcome Jenny Scala, Managing Director at the American Institutes for Research. Jenny shares insights into how student success systems can help schools break down silos in student support, making it easier to use resources efficiently and deliver integrated, timely support for every student. We explore the inner workings of these systems, examining how they help schools identify students’ needs, improve attendance, boost engagement, and set up all students for success. We want every student to know that there is an adult who cares about them and misses them when they're not there. It's essential to continue training people on the importance of this work, especially as we face transitions in schools and buildings.
