Why We Drop Out?                Credits: 3            Only $499

Most dropouts see the impact of their decision when there’s no money in their pockets; often resorting to a life of crime. This course is designed to inform educators of the various reasons students fail to complete school successfully. Participants will explore research based ideology for the factors that may be predictors of whether students will drop out or graduate from high school. We will explore institutional characteristics and individual characteristics as the main predictors of success. We will explore strategies/tools used by to predict school failure: attendance, behavior and grades (retention), early warning indicators, and engagement in the school community.
