Discover Practical Strategies to Support
At-Risk and Struggling Students
The 35th Annual National Dropout Prevention Conference is specifically tailored for educators, administrators, counselors, and all stakeholders who serve at-risk and struggling students. This event provides attendees with practical tools and strategies that can be immediately applied to enhance student success. With a focus on evidence-based practices and real-world applications, the conference will equip you with the insights needed to address the unique challenges faced by your students, helping you to create supportive, effective learning environments.
Our sessions are designed to address contemporary issues such as the integration of AI in education, tackling chronic absenteeism, and supporting trauma-impacted students. You’ll leave equipped with the latest, evidence-based practices that are transforming the landscape of dropout prevention.
Unlike many conferences that focus on theory, we emphasize practical applications. Expect to gain strategies that you can take back and immediately apply in your classrooms, schools, and districts.
Engage with a nationwide community of K-12 professionals who share your commitment to student well-being. This conference isn’t just about attending sessions; it’s about building lasting relationships and collaborating on solutions that make a real difference.
Attendees have the opportunity to earn credits toward the National Dropout Prevention Specialist Certification and Trauma-Skilled™ Specialist Certification. These certifications will bolster your professional credentials and provide a structured pathway for ongoing development. Click the buttons below to learn more.

Dive deep into research-backed methods designed to keep students engaged and on track to graduate. Discover trauma-informed practices, classroom-to-boardroom strategies, and innovative approaches to support both educators and students. Whether you work directly with students or develop school-wide strategies, you’ll gain practical tools and knowledge to make an immediate impact.
“Our hope is that attendees will return to their schools and communities equipped with actionable strategies, innovative ideas, and a renewed passion for creating positive change.
