It has resulted from smart and dedicated work on the ground, including the invention of a new strategies to provide students who have dropped out second and third chances to succeed. Central to this has been the realization that for reengagement to occur we need to be able to provide students who have dropped out with supported pathways back in. This highly informative volume shows the Art and Science of how that can be done. -- Robert Balfanz, Everyone Graduates Center, Johns Hopkins UniversityThe problem of disconnection from school and work among teens and young adults has worsened in recent years. Here in Philadelphia, we recently found that about one quarter of the citys residents aged 18 to 24 are idle, and worse still, a majority are high school dropouts who have never held a job. This book provides important insights into different ways in which the nation could respond to re-engage teens and young adults and increase their chances for a life of opportunity and fulfillment. -- Paul Harrington, Director and Professor of Education, Center for Labor Markets and Policy, Drexel University Long Description This book by practitioners, policy analysts, and young people, for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers, captures up-to-the-moment experience and as yet unresolved issues in a newly emerging field: dropout reengagement.
