Abstract

This article presents an intervention model to promote positive educational trajectories based on technology and available evidence on educational engagement's predictive capacity to influence students’ educational trajectories in schools with high social vulnerability both in Chile and Latin America. The software-based model was developed through collaborative work between the university, IT team, educational communities, and stakeholders (governmental institutions). It is a web-based system composed of six steps whose axis centers on a decision-making space between teachers-students-parents (School Engagement Board) tasked with applying online and scientifically validated school engagement measurement instruments, checking specific report results for each actor involved into the system (teacher, school engagement board coordinator, school) as well as reviewing advocacy strategies that are pertinent to school context and manage strategy implementation supported by the management sheets that the model offers to schools.
