Sustaining a Relationship-based Student Engagement Intervention: The Case of Check & Connect
Advisor: Karen Seashore
The purpose of this study is to examine and describe the factors leading to the sustainability of implementation of an evidence-based dropout prevention/student engagement intervention, Check & Connect, in a large midwestern, urban school district. Check & Connect has been implemented in the district for more than 30 years, and although there have been a number of internal and external evaluations of the intervention, none of them have looked at what factors have led to the continued implementation of Check & Connect in the district. This study will provide the district with information about Check & Connect implementation and it’s continued sustainability that will support not only the future of Check & Connect, but implementation of other long-term interventions designed to promote improved student outcomes for all students.

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
