An early warning system allows educators to assign and provide appropriate interventions to at-risk students early on, during the 9th grade year, to prevent dropout before it happens.This video from the Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest (REL Midwest) summarizes research on early warning systems and dropout prevention.

Early warning systems data can be used to identify trends among students, enabling educators to intervene with those who are likely to leave the education system. This video series, a collaborative effort by the Great Lakes Comprehensive Center and the Michigan Department of Education, covers the seven-step process of installing the Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System (EWIMS).
