What Communities Can Do
This is a resource guide that synthesizes what has been learned over the past decade about keeping students on the graduation path. It highlights the importance of four key transition points
- the early years of schooling,
- the transition to the middle grades,
- the transition to high school, and
- the transition to college and careers.
It argues that students who successfully negotiate these transitions typically go on to graduate from high school. It demonstrates how many students may need academic and social supports to successfully negotiate these transitions and provides communities with insight into what these supports are and how they can be provided.
What Your Community Can Do was written for the National Dropout Summit held in Washington DC in May of 2007.
