Partners in Dropout Recovery: Getting Creative to Find and Recruit Students (Webinar)

This year the American Institutes for Research Connected Educators project convened a group of 13 practitioner teams formed an online community of practice focused on Dropout Recovery and Prevention. The community focuses on improving outcomes for over-age, under-credited learners, with an emphasis on helping schools play a central role in dropout recovery through partnering with other community organizations.

On June 6, at 11 am Central/12 pm Eastern/9 am Pacific, they are hosting a webinar entitled Partners in Dropout Recovery: Getting Creative to Find and Recruit Students (Register here). This is the first in a series of public dissemination and network engagement activities planned for the community about different topics related to the communities’ foci. In this hour-long webinar, three teams from the community will share their experiences implementing creative and innovative ways to find and re-engage the toughest to reach students who have dropped out of school. Presentations include:

•   Colorado Youth for a Change sharing their innovative text message and interactive online video campaign

•   Riverside County (CA) ROE Come Back Kids program discussing their creative strategies to scale outreach to potential students across a large geographic area and working with the larger school community

•   Portland Community Based Alternative Programs and Reconnection Services explaining efforts to find creative ways to keep the power of building meaningful personal relationships at the front of efforts to re-engage students
