Implementing Evidence-Based Strategies for Preventing Dropout in Secondary Schools

During this webinar, REL staff will disseminate information about evidence-based strategies to prevent dropout in secondary schools, with a focus on how practitioners can adopt and adapt the strategies. Participants will benefit from a presentation of four types of practices that can be adopted in schools and have been shown to prevent dropout. The practices are highlighted in the recently released What Works Clearinghouse practice guide on dropout prevention. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from practitioners in the Mid-Atlantic region to learn how they have implemented some of the strategies.
