Title: Dropout Prevention:
Do Districts Pursue Best Practice Recommendations?
Description: This report focuses on the reality that the dropout situation is unlikely
to improve as long as policy and practice fail to ensure students
have a comprehensive system of student and learning supports. To
highlight the intervention problem, the emphasis is on first comparing
federal practice guidance recommendations for addressing the
dropout problem with data about what schools are doing; then, we
stress the need to embed dropout prevention into development of a
unified and comprehensive component for addressing barriers to learning
and teaching and re-engaging disconnected students at every school.Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/drop.pdf 126 kb; 24pp
