COVID-19 has compounded barriers to opportunity for youth who our education system underserves. Additional trained adults in tutor, success coach, mentor, or college advisor roles can help address educational and developmental challenges magnified by COVID-19, enabling schools and communities to address inequities while supplementing educator capacity. Hear from practitioners implementing student success corps models about how they are creating ecosystems for student support including lessons learned.
