In 2021, nine organizations formed The GRAD Partnership to make high-quality student success systems the new normal nationwide. Each organization has proven success with helping schools improve on-track rates through support and research. In this interactive session, participants will learn how the GRAD Partnership is creating a new model for on-track with a new definition of high-quality Student Success Systems. The session will highlight aspects of that definition in action through a panel discussion with practitioners from Chicago, IL and Colorado Springs, CO. Participants will have an opportunity to engage with the definition and develop plans for their own contexts.
