On November 13, 2017, the Alliance for Excellent Education held a webinar that addressed how school districts can leverage national service programs like AmeriCorps to implement their plans for evidence-based school improvement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). ESSA requires evidence-based interventions to improve low-performing schools, and effective partnerships with organizations that work with AmeriCorps members can play a significant role in supporting schools and districts across the country.

During this webinar, panelists highlighted City Year and College Possible as two examples of effective school improvement partners under ESSA for schools that do not graduate one-third or more of their students and are required to provide students with comprehensive support and intervention. Representatives from Milwaukee Public Schools, City Year, and College Possible discussed the collaborative work happening across Milwaukee Public Schools and across the nation to improve student outcomes and provide support for comprehensive improvement.

Panelists also addressed questions from the online audience.

Support for this webinar is provided in part by Carnegie Corporation of New York.
