Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD) continue to demonstrate the worst post-secondary outcomes among all groups of students, in part due to their large dropout rate.

First, the need for consistent pro-active environmental supports across a continuum will be discussed through School-wide Positive Behavior Supports.

Participants will be provided with promising ideas and directed to available resources to assist them in implementation. Data Driven: Making Student Data Accessible and Meaningful to Families
Web-based Event
August 10, 2010
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM (Eastern)
The U.S. Department of Education has adopted using data for school improvement as a major education reform priority. In the past decade, the Department, school districts, and states have spent more than a billion dollars to build data systems to foster improvement and now can transform this data into information that can promote student success by tracking academic progress and by guiding the daily actions of families, schools, communities, and the students themselves. This third webinar, “Data Driven: Making Student and School Data Accessible and Meaningful to Families,” will look at practical examples of how districts and schools use data to engage families in their children's education. The webinar will introduce tools that help practitioners, districts, and schools to incorporate data into their own family engagement strategies. The Reinventing Quality Conference
