Overview
Chronic absenteeism is on the rise in schools across the country. The latest national data reveals that roughly 70% of schools are experiencing increased student absences. Effectively addressing chronic absenteeism cannot be done in isolation. It takes a unified commitment from schools, families, and community stakeholders to implement actionable, innovative solutions to this growing issue.
During this 3-part webinar series, Sharon Bradley will provide tiered, effective practices to collectively address the root causes of chronic absenteeism. Through reflective and engaging sessions, participants will acquire a variety of attendance-promoting strategies that can be implemented individually or integrated into intervention-based frameworks such as Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS).
This webinar is intended for administrators, teachers, counselors, social workers, school nurses, and other school stakeholders who aspire to learn and utilize bold solutions to issues related to chronic absenteeism.
