Abstract | The costly supplemental or alternative programs that combat chronic school failure and continued high dropout rates are not always effective for the following reasons: (1) students do not always find out which programs are available, and (2) if no suitable program is available, there is usually no one responsible for trying to create one. People with local responsibility for dropout prevention should use an efficient procedure for assessing the situations of individual students and referring them to the most suitable program. Students drop out for numerous reasons, and there are numerous possible responses to students at risk of dropping out. Dropout prevention programs offer various curricula, including the following: (1) regular academic curriculum leading to local diploma; (2) remedial academic curriculum leading to diploma equivalent; (3) specialized vocational program leading to job placement; and (4) combined academic and vocational curricula. Dropout programs vary in their locations (regular high schools, other schools, non-school organizations), instructional processes, administrations, ranges of related activities, and schedules. A comprehensive assessment system should be developed to better match students with the available programs. A 35-item bibliography is appended. (BJV) |
