Abstract
To illustrate the need for a problem-solving approach in schools and for the use of curriculum-based evaluation (CBE), the present state of education, including statistics about student performance and explanations for low school performance, is discussed within this chapter. Strategies for improving outcomes in schools are discussed and the problem-solving model (PSM) is introduced. The PSM can be applied at both the systems and individual levels, with the system laying the foundation of support for the individual.

Status dropout rate refers to the percentage of students within a certain age range who are not currently enrolled in high school and have not earned a high school diploma or equivalency. This is different than the event dropout rate, which is the percentage of high school students who left school in a given year and did not earn a diploma or equivalency.
