A guide for secondary school practitioners provides strategies for motivating limited-English-proficient (LEP) students to continue their education at least through the secondary level. The guide is based on the project handbook from a Kenwood, Oklahoma community-based dropout-prevention project. The guide begins by presenting dropout statistics, describing the characteristics of at-risk students, and listing common features of dropout prevention programs. The guide then outlines specific strategies for remedial instruction (including remedial content-area and language arts instruction), student self-development (including positive attitudes and motivation through career awareness), and establishing a home-school partnership. In each of these sections, specific objectives, procedures, materials, and activities are outlined. The suggestions are designed to enhance teacher awareness of the special needs of at-risk LEP students and to build a positive, success-oriented, and supportive school environment. (MSE)
