Overview
Faced with alarming dropout rates, educators must find ways to encourage students at risk of dropping out to remain in school. To help teachers and related services professionals meet that challenge successfully, this revolutionary book describes a variety of prevention programs based on partnerships between universities and local elementary and secondary schools. Among the groundbreaking approaches introduced are combining education and social services in early intervention, collaborating with the families of young children and adolescents, and arranging participatory visits to college campuses for high school students. Written by the leaders who pioneered these extraordinary programs, this practical book is filled with solid advice on: creating a program that fits the individual needs of community schools, obtaining funding, staffing the program, selecting students to participate, and evaluating the program's effectiveness. Staying in School is ideal for professionals who need concrete strategies for designing successful prevention programs for their communities.Book Details
