More caring adults in schools can help students succeed

Developmental relationships with caring adults at school such as student success coaches, can make a positive impact on the social, emotional, and academic skills of young people. Evidence shows that student success coaches positively impact student engagement which can help them stay in school and on track to graduate⁽¹⁾. Providing access to asynchronous training is an important lever in growing the number of student success coaches trained and ready to make a positive impact with young people across the country.

In 2023-2024, student success coaches supported students in 27% of schools.

Having caring adults focused on supporting students in the ways that student success coaches do, has shown to significantly improve student attendance rates and reduce chronic absenteeism.
