Innovative Technology Gives Potential Dropouts a New Lease on Learning.
Eckenrod, James; Wheeler, Carl
American School Board Journal, v174 n3 p41-42 Mar 1987
To give at-risk teenagers the best chance for high school graduation and further schooling or employment, Baltimore schools created Student Adventures in Learning (SAIL), a remedial computer-assisted instruction program. Over 100 eighth graders identified as potential dropouts instead improved academically and made secure transitions to high school. (MLH)
