Chronic Absenteeism: Understanding Root Causes, Building Real Solutions - Webinar
Research consistently identifies chronic absenteeism as a leading indicator of lower academic achievement, reduced school engagement, and increased risk of later educational difficulties. Learn about the distinction between chronic absenteeism and truancy and examine the underlying drivers of attendance problems, including logistical barriers, school avoidance, disengagement, and misunderstandings about the importance of consistent attendance.
We will explore current research on effective, tiered approaches to improving attendance and the role counselors and administrators play in coordinating school, family, and community support. Gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of absenteeism and learn about promising practices for fostering student engagement and attendance in school.
