This is the third and final year-end report on the START program in Alberta (Canada). START was a dropout prevention project funded by Alberta Education and Alberta/NWT Region Human Resources Development Canada, successor to Employment and Immigration Canada. START addressed dropout prevention through a variety of school and community initiatives targeting students in the junior high school years. Nine case studies, some of which include more than one school, are presented in a format that provides: (1) rationale of the project; (2) background factors; (3) background characteristics of students; (4) interventions; and (5) outcomes, including student achievement data and an overall look at project accomplishments. Overall program impact was seen to be favorable, although it was difficult to make comparisons across programs because of the great diversity of student characteristics. An appendix presents reporting forms used in the evaluation. (Contains 3 figures, 68 tables, and 6 references.) (SLD)
