An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure: Identifying Schools in Early Distress
As a leader your goal is to provide students attending your schools with a high-quality education. Given all that goes into accomplishing this goal both internal and external to your school it can be easy for challenges to bubble up and go unnoticed. Research shows schools don't just decline all at once or out of the blue, rather decline stems from these unaddressed issues that fester and permeate over time. This presentation will walk participants through ground-breaking research on identifying school distress prior to that distress impacting student outcomes. The purpose of this session is to help schools, districts, and states recognize the early warning signs of school decline and mitigate these challenges. We will guide participants through this research and early warning signs. Participants will audit their systems and map current data collection to data needed to identify early school distress, helping save schools years of decline and ensure high quality education for students.
