SPN
Successful Practices Network (SPN) is a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to building the capacity of schools and districts to support ALL students for success in school and in the world beyond school.
Expert Guidance for Schools Preparing for the Future
Dr. Bill Daggett, Founder of the Successful Practices Network, has spent more than forty years helping schools rethink teaching, learning, and leadership for a world that continues to change at an unprecedented pace. His work—including the Rigor/Relevance
Framework® and the R3 Learning Model — has shaped the direction of thousands of schools across the country.
Under Dr. Daggett’s leadership, SPN brings together experts from across its not-for-profit network—including the National Dropout Prevention Center and the CTE Technical Assistance Center of New York—to support educators with practical, research-driven solutions. This structure gives SPN a deep bench of specialists able to address issues ranging from attendance improvement to the emerging impact of artificial intelligence on schools.
SPN’s team of former educators, district leaders, and researchers works alongside K–12 systems to strengthen instruction, support students, and help build sustainable improvement. Our services span school redesign, strategic planning, AI readiness, trauma-skilled practices, and leadership development—all designed to support every student, educator, and administrator on their future-focused journey.
