School administrators across the country continue to search for new, effective interventions meant to alleviate the issue of student dropout. Researchers agree that such intervention practices should target unstable factors (i.e., changeable) related to risk for dropout versus stable factors (i.e., unchangeable) related to dropout. While past research has focused on examining the relationship between the unstable factors of GPA, attendance, retention, and school engagement, and risk for dropping out, specifically in high school students, the aim of the current study was to examine the general relationship between the protective factor of social competence and its relationship to previously identified risk factors for dropout: low academic achievement and low school engagement. Results of this study indicated that social competence has a predictive relationship with dropout (as measured by school engagement) above and beyond the well-known predictive factor of academic achievement.

This paper presents a discussion of what it means for children to be considered "at-risk" and how this might influence their social competence and academic achievement. One attempt to improve the social competence of at-risk students has been through participation in after school programs. The present study examined the effects of participating in an after school program for one year on the social competence and academic achievement of at-risk students, compared to at-risk students who did not participate in the program. Results indicated a positive correlation between the measure of social competence and the measures of academic achievement, which supported previous research that also has documented this relationship. However, no significant improvements were found in terms of social competence for either group. Possible explanations for lack of significant data and limitations of the study are discussed.

Social Competence: Interventions for Children and Adults focuses on the relationship between the social abilities and interpersonal skills of people, taking into consideration their satisfaction and productivity. This book offers a summary of innovative and validated interventions specifically made to improve social competence among adults and children. This text first presents how physical characteristics and behavior are considered as determinants of social competence. The differences that language plays among adults and children relative to self-control are highlighted. The role that parents play in shaping the mental health of their children is also emphasized. In molding the social competence of children, training programs on social skills in the classroom are given importance. The programs include the development of interpersonal skills during a child's elementary school years. However, the development of such skills has not been traditionally thought as a responsibility of the education system. Social skills training program have been added to the program for patients suffering from psychomatic disorders, and this has been proven beneficial to them.

There is an ongoing need for interventions and practices that promote student engagement and prevent school dropout that are both effective and expand beyond the individual level to reach all students. Accordingly, it is necessary to identify aspects of the school context experienced by all students and student skills that can be enhanced by schools to foster student engagement and prevent dropout. This study examined the multilevel main effects of grade level and students' perceptions of social-emotional competence, teacher-student relationships, student-student relationships, and fairness of school rules on student engagement. It also investigated the multilevel moderation effects of grade level and students' perceptions of teacher-student relationships, student-student relationships, and fairness of school rules in the association between perceptions of social-emotional competence and student engagement. Additionally, grade level was examined as a moderator of the association between students' perceptions of teacher-student relationships and student engagement. Data were collected from 29,359 students in grades 3-12 in 97 Delaware public schools via the Delaware School Surveys.

This book describes the fifteen strategies identified through research reviewed by The National Dropout Prevention Center and Network at Clemson University. Each chapter in this book was written by a nationally recognized authority in that field. Research has shown that these 15 strategies have been successfully implemented in all school levels from K - 12 in rural, suburban, and urban centers; as stand-alone programs or as part of systemic school improvement plans. Helping Students Graduate: A Strategic Approach to Dropout Prevention also covers No Child Left Behind and its effects on dropout rates; Dealing with Hispanic dropouts; Differences and similarities between rural and urban dropouts. These fifteen strategies have been adopted by the U.S. Department of Education. They are applicable to all students, including students with disabilities.
