Our downloadable guide explains how school district leaders can improve student outcomes by strategically investing ESSER funds into Early Warning Systems to address these ABCs.
Schools that implement Early Warning Systems follow a methodical process that uses local, historical student data and research-based early warning indicators to accurately identify students who are in danger of not achieving key educational milestones, such as on-time graduation. Students are then matched with appropriate interventions, and leaders monitor their progress and adapt support over time.
Early Warning Systems help district leaders direct scarce resources where they're needed most by leveraging methodological processes, promoting up-to-date data gathering and analysis, and focusing intervention efforts.
Federal stimulus funds provide an opportunity to address students’ current needs and build toward lasting improvement.
