Building Student Success Systems to Support Students with Disabilities (Video 3 of 3): Systems

The third of three thematic videos on Building Student Success Systems, this video demonstrates that once we have shifted mindsets and built appropriate knowledge, we are ready to build an effective holistic system to bridge the deep ravine of opportunity gaps.
Watch this video to learn more about how we can make structural changes to existing frameworks to better support students with disabilities on their road to success by looking at: feasibility, context, purposeful resource allocation, data-based decision-making, transition & timeline, missed or over identification, and trusted relationships.
Student Success Systems focus on holistic ways to close the ravine of opportunity gaps to ensure students receive exactly what they need to succeed.
The intersection of disability, race, ethnicity, and poverty put high-school students at an even higher risk for dropping out. Students with disabilities often find themselves in a ravine of opportunity gaps. The current siloed system isn’t working. To drive positive change, we must identify and address the systemic barriers to improve graduation rates for students with disabilities.
This Bright Spot series leans on the experiences and expertise of educators, administrators, caregivers, and young adults with disabilities in hopes of identifying tools, resources, and evidence-based supports that will foster sustainable change for our students for generations to come.
