A new web-based data system that can help quickly and easily identify students with multiple risk factors for dropping out.
If, it is exciting to observe that the U.S. high school graduation rate hashit an all-time high of 80 percent; we are all concerned to learn that, about 3
million students exit high school annually without graduating. This is painful
for the involved families and catastrophic for the entire nation.
But, thanks to the Big Data and Analytic technologies and methodologies which
henceforth help: colleges and districts, universities and educators, to mitigate
the risks, when it comes to help each individual reach graduation, based on informed
decisions.
As part of our global commitment, Connectikpeople.co soon Retinknow®
encourages MindShine Technologies (developer of the Student Risk Assessment
System), to continue focusing on the objective factors to help districts
proactively identify and help
students at any age.
The Student Risk Assessment System aims to evaluate the whole student to
determine if he or she is likely to leave school. In fact, in conjunction
with existing student information system, districts or other educational specialist,
can collect data to create a Risk Factor Index for each student. Educators can
run this index at any time to determine if their actions are making a
difference.
Based on these data, districts can share best practices and target their
resources to programs and strategies that have been proven to work.
