Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,899. Abstract: The proposed study is a two-year randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of implementing an early warning system PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48863 on school processes and student outcomes. The project responds to a need expressed by members of the REL Midwest’s Ohio Dropout Prevention Alliance for clear information about the efficacy of early warning systems. Despite the strong foundational research on the use of early indicators to identify students who are at risk of not graduating and the increasingly widespread implementation of early warning systems by states, districts and schools to date there have been no rigorous studies testing the impact of early warning systems on student outcomes such as staying in school, progressing in school and graduating. There also is very little information on the impact of adopting an early warning system on school level processes, such as how schools allocate their limited resources to prevent dropout and how early warning systems may affect school data culture.
