student support in the academy context
DESCRIPTION
Districts and schools may have systems in place to provide academic support for students, but what does student support look like on the academy level? This session will explore ways to provide sufficient academic support to students through the academy itself. Participants will test drive an intervention asset mapping tool and consider ways that other academy teams provide practical support to students in danger of academic failure and dropping out.TRANSCRIPT
