Research shows that dropping out of high school is a process not an event. Students at risk of dropping out typically exhibit signs for several years before the actual event occurs. Recognizing the importance of early identification and intervention, many states and districts have implemented “early warning systems” that utilize research-based predictors of dropout. This session will explore the next generation of early warning that utilizes multiple research-based indicators and predictive analytics for earlier identification of students with up to 40% more accuracy than traditional systems. Discover the latest developments in these new interventions through an interactive conversation with CAAASA colleagues and peers as well as research leaders from BrightBytes, designers of the nation’s leading predictive analytics engine and the foremost policy experts on dropout prevention. Join us for this interactive and dynamic workshop, in which participants will explore the research and walk away with tangible next steps to increase graduation rates in your schools. Plaza Room C
