Whose Responsibility is Dropout Prevention? Dr. Kennedy Ongaga Dr. William Sterrett Dr. Janna Robertson

What do you think? There is a naïve common assumption that all dropout prevention responsibility falls to the high school principal. Do you agree? – What do you think? – Do principals at the elementary and middle school feel as responsible? – Why or why not?

Method Participated in a new faculty mentor group with Dr. Jay Smink, past Executive Director of the National Dropout Prevention Center Developed online survey based on research Piloted it with a few principals and had it reviewed by peers Sent it to principals in 13 school districts in Southeastern North Carolina (UNCW professional development partners)

Participants Elementary School Principals = 17 Middle School Principals = 7 High School Principals = 4

Principal Beliefs
