The grant period for this project will begin January 1, 2009 and end December 31, 2013. This project, under the directorship of Dr. Loujeania Bost and Dr. Jay Smink, will support the efforts of OSEP to: assist State Education Agencies (SEAs) and Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in implementing and evaluating effective, comprehensive dropout prevention, reentry and school completion models and practices for students with disabilities. The goal of this work is to partner with, and provide technical assistance to States as they continue to develop their capacity to (a) collect and improve data collection systems to track at risk-students; (b) design training activities for policy makers, administrators, and practitioners on dropout prevention, reentry and school completion strategies; and (c) meet their performance targets, as reported in their SPPs/APRs, for Part B Indicators 1 and 2 (Graduation and Dropout). The NDPC-SD will also help States build and implement sustainable programs and best practices that will yield positive results in dropout prevention, reentry and school completion for students with disabilities. This center will be managed by Selete Avoke. For further information, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------ End of Forwarded Message
