⟩ Tell me how have you worked to be an advocate for students who are at-risk in your school?
I currently teach at a high school that is striving to increase its graduation rate. I am assigned a homeroom and I am to monitor students’ grades, referring some students to peer intervention and others to counselors if I see danger signs of dropping out. While time consuming, I find that students who know that I am there for them come to me for help. This program makes homeroom teachers the advocates and it works well.
