Poster Presentation Title: Every Target and Milestone Matters: Developing Connecticut’s Evidence-Based Early Indication Tool (EIT)

Poster Abstract: Early warning systems typically focus on students’ dropout risk. The Connecticut State Department of Education extended this model to create the Early Indication Tool (EIT), a K-12 system that predicts student performance, identifies students who are at-risk of missing milestones and/or dropping out, and ultimately facilitates more timely interventions.
