Once at-risk students have been identified through an Early Warning System, LEAs and schools will determine interventions that will best meet the student’s needs. The relevance of the evidence, specifically the setting and/or population of the evidence, as well as local capacity to support interventions may predict how well an evidence-based intervention will work in a local context.

Evidence-Based Interventions (EBI) are strategies, practices, and programs with available research documenting their effectiveness and data suggesting that if used as designed, they will enhance student progress. EBIs are content specific and should be based on the needs of the students in need of intervention.

Once students are identified as being at-risk for dropping out, the next step is to select interventions and strategies that will meet their needs. If students are flagged for attendance, it would be important to identify interventions or strategies to support regular school attendance. Frazelle and Nagel (2015) suggest schools develop a list of all possible supports currently provided to help teachers’ access specific supports and strategies.

Determining when the chosen interventions will be implemented is an important step that must be considered. Implementing interventions effectively requires time for both the planning and delivery of interventions.
Strategies for Scheduling
Students missing 10 percent or more of school, excused, unexcused or from suspensions, are severely at-risk for academic failure. Keeping students in school must be a priority for LEAs and schools. Proven strategies and interventions for keeping students in school that have impact at the district, school, and individual student levels are provided below.
