Dropout-prevention advisers with MCPER’s Preventing School Dropout With Secondary Students project recently concluded initial training for the MCPER-designed dropout-prevention intervention. At the conclusion of the training, a student who participated in MCPER’s Preventing School Dropout With Secondary Students: Project GOAL study in Manor provided testimony about how the presence of a dropout adviser during the 2009–2010 school year was instrumental in his continuation in school. After the training, dropout advisers and reading intervention specialists began implementation of the study at each of the three Pflugerville Independent School District high schools.
