Prevent™ gives states, districts, and schools the ability to access data, track a student’s progress, and act on it to reduce a national crisis—the dropout rate.
Prevent extracts multiple data points including grade point average, attendance, behavior records, test scores, levels of engagement and student aspirations from Inform¹s database and calculates a proprietary index that allows administrators to easily track a student¹s (or group of students¹) progress. Key Benefits include:
- Zero time searching for and analyzing data.
- Effortlessly view actionable data in real time via attractive, easy-to-read reports.
- Default and customizable benchmarks that notify administrators and parents when a certain risk threshold, such as growing attendance problem and student disengagement.
- Collects and integrates the data crucial to analyzing dropout trends such as: Student Demographics, Student Performance Indicators, Course Failures, Overall Academic Performance Trends, and Student Engagement and Aspirations.
- Delivers reports via email so that information is easily accessible and users can be proactive.
Collects student engagement data (MyVoice) for a holistic approach of looking at student data
- Administrators constantly face the challenge of providing the best education possible, meeting state and national benchmarks, and ensuring a learning environment where students have self-worth, are actively engaged, and have a sense of purpose to perform better in school. They are hindered by limited resources, inefficient processes, and a lack of communication among different levels of staff.
- Prevent solves these problems because it efficiently collects, organizes, reports and shares information so administrators can easily track student progress in real time. The software is a cost-effective solution that allows administrators to identify potential problems, determine needs, and increase communication among staff.
- Counselors help students focus on academic, personal/social and career development so they can achieve success in school and are prepared to lead fulfilling lives. With a national average student-to-counselor ratio of 475:1 counselors are over-burdened and find it very difficult to identify and reach out to students at-risk.
- Prevent gives counselors the data they need to go on offence instead of defense. Its powerful graphs and easy to understand analysis gives counselors the tools they need to find students on the margin.
- In addition, it gives counselors the ability to monitor the results of their interventions.
- Allows counselors to have a deeper understanding of "why" students may or may not be achieving.
- As the first point of contact for every student, teachers have the task of observing and tracking students¹ needs, progress, and potential challenges. With ever-increasing student-to-teacher ratios, it is difficult, if not impossible, for teachers to track small yet significant, changes in everyday behavior, attendance, and academic achievement. Furthermore, a lack of communication between teachers, counselors and administrators makes it difficult for teachers to mitigate potential problems.
- Prevent benefits teachers by allowing them to easily track each student and, because administrators, counselors and teachers share Prevent reports, the resulting increased communication leads to more effective intervention.
- Teachers equipped with a greater understanding of the whole child can steps to ensure that students want to attend school and set high academic goals for themselves.
