What the Expert Says:

I have been a school counselor who has worked in an alternative program for dropout intervention and prevention. There are many resources in alternative education on this topic. The best resource on programs nationally is the Nationa Center for Dropout Prevention. They have conferences, a website and numerous materials that you will find helpful.

I live in Central Maryland and the use of mentoring programs are very popular. Many of these programs are community based, particularly with students who are at risk due to their living situations.

Several programs are available for bilingual/bicultural children as well. Maryland is known for diversity and many of the schools have programs to address their needs. If you wish to contact me specifically for details please feel free to do so.

A lot of research and technology has recently gone into the production of Dropout Early Warning and Intervention Systems. I have developed one such system that is in use by State Departments of Education as well as LEA Schools/Districts/Regionals. I am happy to provide an overview of how a system can be created and adopted, leveraging existing data systems and involving nationally renowned research (NGA/NDPS/etc) as well as local intervention discovery processes... -Scott Gallant
