HELPING STUDENTS GRADUATE: STRATEGIES AND TOOLS TO PREVENT SCHOOL DROPOUTS
Today, over one-third of our K-12 students never graduate – increasing the likelihood of their imprisonment, single parenthood, poverty and the use of alcohol and drugs. Yet the demands of NCLB, will inevitably increase the likelihood of children leaving school prior to graduation.
Using the 15 effective strategies developed by the National Dropout Prevention Center and tools developed as “best practices” by some of America’s outstanding schools and programs, workshop participants will not only learn what to do but how to aid at-risk youth to graduate.
The strategies have been recognized by the National Education Goals Panel and the United States Department of Education as the most “ effective strategies to help solve our school dropout problem.” (NEGP Monthly, August 2001 and www.ed.gov/dropout).
