The CroCooS Implementation Strategy and Tactics

Start change schools to become more person focused

Achievements in the pilot schools

Roles in CroCooS

What do we mean by Early Warning System?

A set of measurable and/or observable distress signals

A system of screening these signals

A team to orgaise screening and

• decide if intervention is needed
• organises the needed actors of intervention
• follows the results

CHALLENGE: national coordinators requiring project expectations

+ in Hungary: EWS by low

• EWS teams (task forces to prevent drop-out) settled - regular team meetings
• Student-friendly environment - EWS rooms
• Most schools organised CroCooS-related training programmes
• Searching for distress signals in all schools
• A system of data collection in most schools
• Different intervention approaches
• Some schools already institutionalised its EWS work
• All teams involved out of school partners
• There is no difference between C1 and C2

Some statements of already dropped outs

'The persons of the school didn´t care about me and put me apart. If they had had treated me in a different way, maybe I wouldn´t have left the school.'

Personal professional support

The well-known model of effective change

Each pilot school had a change agent mentor (2 mentors in each countries).

'They laughed at me, when I gave a wrong answer, made fun of me. I start to be truant. During the breaks I did not do anything with the classmates. I have to repeat class 9. During class 8 and 9 I did not go to school at all.'

The mentors visited their schools in every month providing tailor made support in using the Guidelines and tools form the Toolkit.

Trust

'It was my decision, to quit school. The school didn´t tried to keep me. I think they were happy when I left school.'

Resource pool

'The teachers have perceived my behaviour but not understood as a signal. There’s no support from anybody.'

I told them early, that the programme wasn´t right for me, but they didn´t listen and couldn´t help me to change programme.
