Abstract

According to the new legislation on inclusive education, the policies to fight school failure and dropout must essentially be centered in preventive work, scientifically grounded, early implemented and empirically validated by efficient warning, monitoring and impact evaluation systems. With this goal in mind, an early warning system for school failure is developed, the EWS-SF, an innovative tool to fight school failure that flag students at risk of school failure and early dropout, monitors the students´ progress in risk indicators and examines the over-time impact of inclusive intervention. This paper presents the SAPIE, describing its scientific anchorage within the research carried out within the scope of risk models and describes its development and implementation procedures, with reference to its objectives, functionalities and expected results. The SAPIE presentation is reached via bibliographic research using databases, reports, legislation and other resources. The SAPIE´s advantages and limitations are discussed, and its predictive robustness and relevance for research is underlined, within the framework of inclusive education politic in the alignment with projects of autonomy and curriculum flexibility.
