In close collaboration with education leaders, AIR experts help clients use a seven-step, research-based continuous improvement process that enables educators to keep a close eye on at-risk students and to intervene early—and often—to improve student outcomes. AIR’s early warning system supports are designed to tie together a variety of initiatives to improve student outcomes.

AIR experts have been actively engaged with 31 states and more than 100 districts and schools in launching and implementing customized early warning systems. Guides our experts developed for the National High School Center—the Early Warning System High School Implementation Guide and the Early Warning System Middle Grades Implementation Guide—have been downloaded and used in hundreds of schools across the country.
