Students across the country need increased support given the financial, learning, and health challenges created by COVID-19 and ongoing racial trauma. We organized a series of design charrettes to understand the best ways to build and use a team of success coaches. Our Success Coaching Playbook provides professional learning opportunities for our success coaches and critical support for students. The session will equip participants to implement their own success coaching programs.
