October is Dropout Prevention Month

October was recently named the National Dropout Prevention Month. This month we are dedicated to calling attention to the need for everyone to make an effort to prevent school dropouts. We are determined to work to make Canada's dropout rate decrease significantly. You might be thinking what could Accent ever do to decrease the number of dropouts in schools?

Well, when we hear students say things like their classroom "felt like a second home", we know that we can make a difference. By creating a learning environment in which the needs of every student's personal learning style is met, they feel included and they are given the right tools for them to succeed, we can help make school a place that students want to go to every morning.

So...What can you do in your classroom to help prevent dropouts? Here is the answer: our Student Engagement Starter Kit. Check it out here:http://accentenvironments.com/files/Student_Engagement_Kit_Flyer.pdf. This package is a way to begin creating an inclusive learning environment. In this package, we offer the following tools:
