“…More parental involvement in the educational process is positively correlated with the probability of leaving secondary education with a diploma (Eagle, 1989;Epstein, 1992). Finally, the empirical literature suggests that extracurricular activities reduce student dropout and the bene ts of extracurricular involvement tend to be highest for students in deprived neighborhoods (Mahoney and Cairns, 1997;Davalos, Chavez, and Guardiola, 1999). An extensive review by Heers et al (2011) on the e ectiveness of community schools shows that these three educational interventions separately may contribute to counteract student dropout.…”

Dropout prevention is highly ranked on the political agenda in many countries. It remains unclear, however, how dropout can be e ectively reduced, as many di erent factors are determining student dropout.Community schools recognize this and modernize education such that it better accommodates students' personal needs. As a result these schools cooperate more with external organizations, stimulate parental involvement in the educational process and organize more extracurricular activities. Despite the increasing number of community schools, there is no empirical evidence that these schools reduce student dropout.This study examines the impact of Dutch community schools on student dropout. It focuses in particular on pre-vocational education, because dropout is particularly high in this educational track. Moreover, the focus is on the city of Rotterdam because this city is a forerunner in the Netherlands in establishing community

“…Davalos et al (1999) noted that, "one argument in support of extracurricular activity is that it may provide a positive support network for students who otherwise may feel excluded" (p. 63). It is possible that, in part because of what he experienced, Marc managed to build and sustain close social bonds with Mike, David, and Peter, who were more academically-oriented peers.…”

This article outlines a strategy that we, as high school teachers, used in the academic year 2012-2013 to improve a student’s school engagement. Extracurricular activities such as sports have proven useful (among other strategies) to counter school disengagement, specifically in enhancing positive social relations among the teachers and students involved. The authors present an approach implemented in partnership with the students, and discuss the consequences of this strategy for the students and the desired improvements. Finally, we emphasize the importance of peer involvement, teachers’ collaboration, and the teachers’ willingness to inspire and empower change.Cet article porte sur une stratégie que nous avons mise de l’avant à titre de praticiens afin de susciter l’engagement d’un élève à l’école pendant l’année scolaire 2012-2013. Le recours à une activité parascolaire axée sur le sport pour favoriser l’engagement de l’élève s’est avéré en partie efficace pour contrer ce phénomène, notamment en suscitant la qualité des liens sociaux entre tous les acteurs impliqués. Les auteurs présentent la stratégie élaborée en partenariat avec l’élève, les retombées de celle-ci et les améliorations souhaitées. Finalement, ils soulignent l’importance de l’implication des pairs, de la collaboration entre les enseignants, et de la capacité des praticiens à inspirer et à susciter du changement chez les élèves

“…However, the distinct health profiles of Hispanic subgroups, 2,19-21 which also overlap with race self-identification, suggest that race is an important marker of health status as well as of other factors (e.g., student school retention, socioeconomic status). [22][23][24] Non-White race is generally associated with a less favorable health profile among historically underserved Hispanics such as Puerto Ricans.…”

Current dialogues on changes in collecting race and ethnicity data have not considered the complexity of tabulating multiple race responses among Hispanics. Racial and ethnic identification--and its public reporting--among Hispanics/Latinos in the United States is embedded in dynamic social factors. Ignoring these factors leads to significant problems in interpreting data and understanding the relationship of race, ethnicity, and health among Hispanics/Latinos. In the flurry of activity to resolve challenges posed by multiple race responses, we must remember the larger issue that looms in the foreground--the lack of adequate estimates of mortality and health conditions affecting Hispanics/Latinos. The implications are deemed important because Hispanics/Latinos will become the largest minority group in the United States within the next decade.
