Abstract

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) prescribes holistic measures of schools for student success and well-being. However, many early warning systems rely exclusively on the "Attendance, Behavior, Course"(ABC) taxonomy, which misses potentially crucial determinants such as school climate and students' socioemotional learning. We report early findings from a larger project that aims to apply machine learning methods to improve an early warning system by incorporating factors related to school climate and socioemotional learning. These preliminary analyses suggest that a culturally inclusive, socially supportive, and emotionally and physically safe school climate is related to academic success and fewer engagement/behavior problems at the school level. They suggest the promise of integrating these features into early warning systems to help schools change their practices to better support student well-being.
