| 520 | |a The results of an attempt to identify a dropout pattern or profile which could be used to more readily identify at risk youth in Detroit Public Schools are presented in this report. The report is divided into two major sections. Section 1 discusses methodology and analyzes data and findings. Based on personal interviews with Detroit dropouts at the point of leaving school, the data fall into these categories: (1) personal background; (2) family background; (3) home environment; (4) peer group and teacher relationships; (5) reasons for leaving and/or not returning to school; and (6) services or courses which, if provided, could have kept them in school or would encourage their reenrollment. Section 2 summarizes the study findings and provides these recommendations: (1) develop more effective strategies to deal with dropping out caused by pregnancy and fatherhood; (2) make more rigorous efforts to identify and monitor the academic progress of close friends and siblings of dropouts to diminish the "band wagon" effect; (3) study why so many students dropped out because school was "boring" or unappealing; (4) identify and remediate youngsters in the early stages of negative behavioral tendencies; (5) encourage staff to more actively recruit potential candidates for vocational-technical centers; (6) expand child care facilities and programs; (7) explore the feasibility of more flexible programming to meet the self-perceived needs of at-risk students; and (8) establish a program for contacting dropouts within six months of school withdrawal to promote their return. The questionnaire used in student interviews is included as the appendix. (KH) | ||
