Upcoming Webinar

Preventing Delinquency by Promoting Academic Success
June 25, 2008 | 1:00 – 2:15 p.m. ET

School failure and dropout are major predictors of children and youth becoming involved with or re-involved with the juvenile justice system. Understanding the risk factors associated with school failure and how to support students who are at increased risk of failure is essential to effective prevention strategies and programming that aim to reduce delinquency.

NDTAC’s upcoming Webinar, "Preventing Delinquency by Promoting Academic Success" will provide practical strategies to help identify students who are at increased risk of school failure and dropout, as well as strategies to support students in meeting academic requirements and maintaining academic success. Presenters Jessica Heppen and Mindee O’Cummings, of the National High School Center, will provide an overview of early warning systems to identify potential high school dropouts along with best practices in research-based preventive interventions; Kevin Dwyer, past president of the National Association of School Psychologists, will explain the need for additional services for students with disabilities as well as discuss the overrepresentation of students with disabilities within the juvenile justice system; and David Osher, Managing Research Scientist at the American Institutes for Research and NDTAC’s Principal Investigator, will discuss the importance of continuing to provide quality education within the juvenile justice system as a central part of rehabilitation and in reducing recidivism. David Osher will also facilitate and lead the discussion.
