Improving Educational Outcomes, Building a Talent Pipeline
Over the past two years, the SSC Learning Network has supported the holistic growth of students, academically, socially, and emotionally. Our network uses a data-informed approach to deploying Student Success Coaches in classrooms with the goal of providing individualized support to students as they move through their academic careers. Through these experiences, SSCs are developing the skills they need to become successful teachers, school staff, and administrators.

Talent Pipeline
-
SSCs graduate from service programs ready to enter professions in education, ultimately benefiting California school communities
-
Many SSCs aspire to become teachers, counselors, social workers, school psychologists, or school classified staff, and more than 40% return to school settings after their service
Professional Development
-
SSC Learning Network partner organizations participate in Technical Training Assistance (TTA)
-
TTA serves as a foundation for enhancing programming and organizational capacity to promote equity in K-12 education through strategic deployment of skilled SSCs
-
The SSC grant has enabled our partners to continue to invest resources in recruitment and the professional development of SSCs
The SSC grant has allowed us to increase the living allowance for members. In this last year, we have almost tripled the amount of members we have been able to bring into the program and are sustaining for the whole school year.

BAYAC AmeriCorps became a gateway for me to begin my career in education without having finished my college career. I love the position that I am in, being able to support students in many ways...the relationships I have built with students have been the most rewarding.

This program has been intentional about providing both the professional development needed and guidance to get members from AmeriCorps service to the education pipeline and getting into a credential program.
