Through tangible examples of real schools and communities, we looked more closely at the components of our Success Planning framework, including Navigator, Plan for Action, System of Supports, and Data Platform, and the guiding principles that underpin them. We then met in breakout groups to analyze the assets, needs, and opportunities for moving ahead within participants' specific context and concluded with a facilitated discussion on how to move

In this guide, we provide districts and schools with a clear set of actions for integrating Success Planning into reopening efforts that they can apply right now and steps that can be taken in the future depending on capacity and resources.

Based on this evidence, the authors suggest a need to reconsider how availability and access to pediatricians and family physicians is currently configured. Access the full article here.

In this report, we investigate a wide range of education reform strategies through six cases, including British Columbia, England, Finland, Ontario, Rio de Janeiro, and Scotland, and describe specific and promising policies and practices related to braiding health and human services, personalized learning, and out-of-school learning. Drawing on the cases, we generate insights related to developing innovations, implementation and scale, and managing the politics of reducing educational inequity. Access the full article here.
