dropout prevention intervention reports
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC), a central and trusted source of scientific evidence for what works in education, has released two new dropout prevention intervention reports. Find out how the WWC rated First Things First, a reform model intended to transform schools serving economically disadvantaged students.
Read the WWC analysis of New Chance, a program for young welfare mothers who have dropped out of school that aims to improve both their employment potential and their parenting skills. For a complete listing of all dropout interventions the WWC has reviewed please visit this website:
