2023 National Partnership for Student Success Summit

2022-23 NPSS Principals Survey
A representative survey of public school principals fielded by the RAND Corporation in spring 2023 shows that the nation’s schools are working hard to provide students with the people-powered supports they need to thrive in the wake of the pandemic.
Answering the President’s Call to Action
The National Partnership for Student Success supports a nationwide effort to recruit, screen, train, support, and engage an additional 250,000 caring adults in roles serving as tutors, mentors, student success coaches, wraparound service coordinators, and post-secondary transition coaches.
The NPSS works to increase the number of people in student support roles that research shows result in gains in reading and math, graduation rates, reductions in chronic absenteeism, and improved student well-being. By supporting schools, non-profit organizations, colleges, workplaces, state agencies, and community-based champions that provide students with people-powered supports, the NPSS helps organizations expand, improve and/or create high-quality, evidence-based programs to support learning and thriving.
