America Succeeds Annual Report

This year, America Succeeds’ annual report is focused on both looking back and looking forward. Our team, like many of you, is grateful to have made it through 2020 and proud of what we accomplished amidst its many challenges. However, we are far more energized by the prospect of better days ahead.

We have a lot of work to do and America Succeeds is well-positioned to contribute. We’re entering 2021 with an enhanced focus and an expanded network. Our team is excited to build momentum around new initiatives. And, we have renewed confidence in the possibility to drive forward change by bridging the gap between business and education.

COVID-19 Response

Like many organizations in 2020, the America Succeeds team has focused on how to best support our community as we confront the many challenges presented by the global pandemic.

Remote Learning Resources

In March, our team compiled a list of remote learning resources to help parents navigate distance learning during the initial pandemic response. This resource was shared across our network of affiliates and to companies like Adidas, Crate & Barrel, Samsonite, and Home Depot, in partnership with Vertebrae.

Network & Policy Support

America Succeeds concentrated on the impact of how both COVID-19 and social justice events were reshaping education systems long-term. Our team worked with state affiliates and national partners to identify policy solutions to address budget cuts, emotional trauma, and access to technology, among other issues.

Education Advocacy Community

America Succeeds was actively involved in PIE Network’s Federal Stimulus Workgroup to advocate for an Education Stabilization Fund to be distributed equitably and Education Counsel’s Assessment and Accountability Working Group to evaluate learning loss and create equitable interventions.

Bouncing Back Policy Report

America Succeeds provides four key policy recommendations in our report, Bouncing Back: Student-Centered Policies for 2021. These are straightforward; this won’t be the year to ‘reinvent’ our education system. Boldness right now will consist of getting these fundamentals right while setting the stage for longer-term impacts.

Base Camp Webinar Series

Since we couldn’t gather in Boise this year, our team decided to deliver a little EDventure goodness virtually. The Base Camp 2020 series built on one of the conference’s most popular sessions with quick 30-minute webinars to learn from peers about how they are reinventing themselves during this challenging time.
