- implementing an early warning system that helps high schools and their feeder middle schools identify and assist struggling students;
- establishing grade and school transition programs and supports;
- personalizing the school experience and increasing student engagement through service-learning and experiential, work-based, and other learning opportunities;
- providing extended-learning opportunities by the school day, week, or year; and
