Description: Dropping out of school is often a process of disengagement that occurs over time. The complexity of this process points to the need for systemic solutions that address root causes, necessitating changes in the way we "do" school. Over 1.3 million children and youth in the United States have been identified as homeless, a traumatic circumstance that can place them at greater risk for low achievement and school dropout. These students present their own specific challenges that schools and the greater community must be aware of and address in order for these students to be educationally stable, successful, and fully prepared for college, career, and civic life. In this webinar, presenters from the National Dropout Prevention Center (NDPC) and the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) explore the challenges faced by students experiencing homelessness, and how educators and agency personnel can have a positive impact on their success.
