checked out
Prefrontal Cortex- You’ve got one and you
use it!
Responsibility, organization, prioritization center Not fully developed until about age 25
Amygdala- Kicking it Teen Style!
Between 12-25 years old (approximate) brain is
undergoing massive restructuring
Infant / Toddler: massive “fixing” of neurological
pathways
Adolescence: realignment of pathways, white matter
development (myelination), amygdala over compensating.
Prefrontal Cortex
Organization of multiple tasks Impulse inhibition Self control Setting goals and priorities Empathizing with others Initiating appropriate
behavior
Making sound judgments Forming Strategies Planning ahead Adjusting behavior when
situation changes
Stopping an activity upon
completion
Insight
Amygdala
Emotional responses Response to/need for
pleasure/reward (heightened in adolescents)
Response to fear Motivation Impulsive thinking (risk
taking/reactionary)
Don’t overload with complicated directions or
multitasking
The addition of emotion can help students
remember
The brain is social and requires interaction to
develop properly
Practice/rehearsal is critical to learning and
retention
Teens taken in more information visually than
any other sense.
Most empirically robust predictor of drop out is
academic failure (Allensworth & Easton, 2005; Berktold,
Geis, & Kaufman, 1998; Harlow, 2003; Jordan McPartland, & Lara, 1999; Kemple, Herlihy & Smith, 2005; Markow & Scheer, 2002).
Students who drop out are NOT connected to
school (Berktold, Geis, & Kaufman, 1998; Harlow, 2003 : Jerald,
2006; Bridgeland, DiIulio, & Morison, 2006).
24% of students who drop out are unable to identify
an adult in the school by whom they feel supported
(2006 High School Survey of Student Engagement).
Academic failure
(Allensworth & Easton, 2005; Balfanz, & Herzog, 2005),
Problem behavior (e.g. disruption, disrespect, etc.)
(Sweeten, 2006; Tobin & Sugai, 1999
Poor teacher relationships (Barber
& Olson, 1997)
History of grade retention (Allensworth
et al, 2005),
Low attendance
(Balfanz, & Herzog, 2005; Jerald, 2006; Neild & Balfanz, 2006)
Diagnosed with a disability (NTLS-2, ;
Wagner, Newman, Cameto, Levine, Garza, 2006).
$10,000 less in average yearly income for
students who drop out of school (HHS, 2006).
Each student who drops out costs the federal
government $260,000 over course of lifetime (Rouse, 2005).
A 5% increase in graduation rates of male
students alone would equate to savings of $8 billion in crime related costs (Alliance for Excellent Education, 2006).
Inconsistent Environment (expectations/
block schedules)
Lots of multitasking Classes very didactic / passive Lots of independent work Support withheld until problems are
serious
ABCs
Attendance Behavior Completion of Work
Multi-pronged approach beginning with
universal climate of support
Target vulnerable groups Intensity match
High Expectations + High Supports
Frequent, positive adult interactions (Christenson,
Lehr, & Anderson, 2003)
Home school connection (Sinclair, Christenson, Lehr,
& Anderson, 2003)
Predictable, structured day /activities (Lee and
Burkham, 2003)
Social and Academic supports (Kemple, Herlihy, &
Smith, 2005).
Fewer “basic” level classes More advanced classes, with adequate support
(Jerald, 2006)

11th Grade Male Student Failing 3 Classes High Rate of Class Skipping High Teacher Frustration
Teachers feel that his low reading level and
failure is his own fault for not attending
After about 30 minutes of discussing how
to get him to class…a Key Question was asked.
Q: How many other students are skipping
class during any given period?
A: 30-40 students each period!

teams to offer support across both
Screen for at risk and high risk students Support/educate staff Create interventions across all 3 tiers to
support current and future students
