Launch and Implement │ Early Warning Systems in Education

Image of icon showing mouse arrow clicking a buttonIn 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.

Getting Students on Track for Graduation: Impacts of the Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System After One Year

Many schools now use early warning systems to identify students who are at risk of not graduating, with the goal of intervening early to help students get back on track for on-time graduation. This study examined the impact and implementation of one early warning system on student and school outcomes, and provides rigorous initial evidence that even with limited implementation during the first year of adoption, using a comprehensive early warning system can reduce the percentage of students who are chronically absent or who fail one or more courses.
