Description
This book describes the fifteen strategies identified through research reviewed by The National Dropout Prevention Center and Network at Clemson University. Each chapter in this book was written by a nationally recognized authority in that field.
Research has shown that these 15 strategies have been successfully implemented:
- in all school levels from K - 12
- in rural, suburban, and urban centers
- as stand-alone programs or as part of systemic school improvement plans.
Helping Students Graduate: A Strategic Approach to Dropout Prevention also covers
- No Child Left Behind and its effects on dropout rates
- Dealing with Hispanic dropouts
- Differences and similarities between rural and urban dropouts
These fifteen strategies have been adopted by the U.S. Department of Education. They are applicable to all students, including students with disabilities.
