Early Warning Systems
Coordinator Training
Using an Early Warning System (EWS) allows schools to identify students who are showing signs of risk for dropping out of school. Teams can then respond by addressing systemic changes to prevent future challenges, and match these students to intervention to get them back on track for graduation and engaged in school. This training will combine recorded pre-learning modules and a two-hour live, Zoom session. Participants will learn about why an Early Warning System is important, how to start the process of using these data, practice communicating and troubleshooting barriers, and practice using Early Warning Indicator data for decision making.
