iSOSY created Goal Setting materials to give service providers and students a platform to discuss the importance of setting goals and the tools to get there.

Those working many years in migrant education noticed that students - OSY in particular - are often confused when asked about their goals. Many have never thought about what they want to accomplish in their lives - academically or otherwise.

Help the National Dropout Prevention Center spread the word and help those who work to improve student academic outcomes. Join every Tuesday and Thursday to hear educators across the nation share their student success stories.

High dropout rates among migratory students are related to low school engagement and attendance. Therefore, the ideas and strategies contained within iSOSY's Dropout Prevention: Strategies to Assist School Engagement and Attendance were developed to address these issues with migratory secondary students. While the noted strategies could be useful for all students, migratory students often have added barriers to school engagement. The strategies and their applications are designed to help staff work with migratory students who experience low levels of school engagement.

Engage in lifelong learning by continuing to find ways to learn. While the importance of young children's learning is crucial, adults alike are encouraged to continue their learning to elevate chances of success, boost mental health, improve brain health, and stay connected.
