In the current economic environment, dropout rates tend to rise and we, as teachers, struggle to find ways help our students succeed. The issue of students dropping out of school continues to be a problem for schools, society, and our students.
A practice guide is available from the Institute for Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, titled “Dropout Prevention (September 2008).” The intention of the publication is to help educators develop effective dropout prevention strategies.
This publication is a useful addition to the growing research on the dropout issue and how school systems and education advocates can prevent students from dropping out.
