8 Practices to Stay Connected
As more communities come to see the need for dropout recovery programs, and as more education leaders embrace long-term qualitative and quantitative information as part of a more comprehensive formula for assessing true school effectiveness, school leaders across the nation have told Graduation Alliance they would like to be better at being able to engage former students.
Since 2007, Graduation Alliance has worked with hundreds of school districts to locate, re-enroll, re-engage and educate disengaged students. In doing so, we have studied a vast number of student record systems, and have explored dozens of approaches to finding and connecting with students.
In our latest guide, “Building Connections for Long-term Student Engagement” we offer eight practices that can help schools stay better connected to former students.
