PanelPicker | SXSW Conference & Festivals (original) (raw)

Description:

There is no roadmap to student success after COVID; schools are adjusting in real time to meet their needs. Some schools are leaning into being apologetically college prep – rooted in data showing (specifically marginalized) students have stronger outcomes when they have a college degree. Others are investing in career and alternative options, believing equity comes from a multi-faceted approach to post-secondary success. In this session, leaders from school organizations taking separate approaches to post-secondary pathways will discuss their rationale, best practices, and outcomes.
