Process Map
Objective Statement
Throughout the implementation of the continuous improvement project,
the CI Team aims to;
1. Identify, target, and monitor potential dropouts early in their high school
careers;
2. Continue monitoring their progress as they move through high school;
3. Implement a program of personal attention and extra instructional
support to the targeted students;
4. Establish high basic competency expectations for targeted potential
dropouts.
5. Provide helpful and strategic interventions to teachers and class
advisers to enhance the monitoring of SARDO; and
6. Decrease or zero out the drop out rate of the whole student population.
Solution Generation
Taking into account, this perspective and considering the instrument's
limitations, in order to obtain a measure of the most important factors associated
with the SARDO history, we used a statistical technique labeled factor
analysiswhich enables reducing the number of variables used in the analysis.
Factor analysis identifies common factors in different questions summarizing the
Value Analysis
There is no one magical, quick fix solution to the dropout problem. The
problem is complex and requires a complex array of solutions. Dropouts have
dissimilar characteristics and therefore need different kinds of programs which
respond to their individual circumstances and needs. Programs, to be effective,
need to provide one-on-one intensive attention to at-risk students, who often
must be convinced that they are competent and can be successful in school.
The curriculum should include basic educational skills, social skills, and
experiential education. In addition, the interrelated causes and multiple problems
associated with dropping out call for comprehensive communitywide, multiservice approaches and multi-component programs.
