Ed Morrison · BFD Learning Moment: Reducing dropouts
April 9th, 2009

UMD will become the first affiliate of the National Center. Read more.
It’s a strategy that some leaders in Cleveland might consider to boost educatonal attainment. The National Dropout Prevention Center has developed a number of evidence based practices to reduce kids dropping out of school.
