DROPOUT PREVENTION
TOOLKITS |
|||
| While this website
focuses specifically on Arkansas, you may be able to
glean additional ideas on how to create an
individualized toolkit for your school by visiting other
toolkit sites such as the
Dropout Prevention Resource Guide site created by
the Kentucky Department of Education. There are also web
sites that are not called "Dropout Prevention Toolkit"
sites but offer strategies for dropout prevention that
fall within one of the 15 Effective Strategies for
dropout developed by the National Dropout Prevention
Center. These sites are listed below by dropout
prevention category: |
