ED Seminar Details "Early Warning" Indicators For Rural Students

Diette Courrege writes at the Education Week (10/26) "Rural Education" that experts at a recent ED Webinar said that "rural school leaders can use statistics on students' 'ABC's-attendance, behavior, and course performance-to spot trouble in those areas and pinpoint specific intervention thresholds. ... The 90-minute presentation earlier this month, 'Utilizing the Village: Using Early Warning Indicators and Interventions to Help Rural Students Succeed in School,' offered detailed strategies for rural educators looking to improve their graduation rates and prevent dropouts."
