“The goal is not to win an argument about school. The goal is to help a young person find a safe, credible, achievable path forward.”
Evidence of expertise
Developed by Armando J. Gutierrez, Ed.D.
Dr. Gutierrez brings more than 35 years in public education, including leadership in student engagement, dropout prevention, adult education, GED programming, vocational pathways, program evaluation, and re-engagement of students who have left school.
The resource framework is grounded in five research-informed foundations: autonomy, competence, belonging, purpose, and self-regulation.
Early signs a student may be nearing the exit door
- Sudden or repeated absences
- Missing assignments or falling credits
- Withdrawal from peers or trusted adults
- Behavior changes or increasing conflict
- Work or caregiving demands
- Transportation or housing instability
- Bullying, isolation, or loss of belonging
- Statements such as “school is not for me”
No single sign proves that a student plans to leave. Look for patterns, changes, and the obstacle behind the behavior.
