Dropout prevention center offers training DVD

In an effort to extend its reach to more educators, administrators and political leaders, the National Dropout Prevention Center at Clemson University has produced a professional development series on DVD, including tools for 10 sessions of development training.

“This tool provides a resource that gives school leaders a workshop, resources and a guidebook for implementation that better assures success in conducting an effective in-service program of school staff,” NDPC spokesman Marty Duckenfield said.

The series offers high-quality professional development at a low cost to schools and school districts. Each DVD contains a workshop presentation with a national expert in the topic, from the “Solutions to the Dropout Crisis” radio webcast that is broadcast the second Tuesday of every month.

Issues of the series can be ordered online at www.dropoutprevention.org.
