EDMS Expert Series – Building a Strategy to Plan for Reductions in Chronic Absenteeism and Truancy

This workshop/webinar offers strategies and resources for leadership teams to respond to school absenteeism. Teams will gain insights on devising strategy to execute plans to respond proactively and reactively to absenteeism. Proactive strategies require assessment of prior efforts and notation of outcomes. Reactive strategies are just in time resources to engage more students in education. Through each strategy teams learn what to look for to prepare their plans and engage in strategic doing. Participants will examine how their current implementation processes affect the greater whole and how to select the best programs, products, and policies consciously and deliberately to positively impact student attendance and reduce chronic truancy in their schools and districts. During this interactive session, opportunities provide for discussion, collaboration, and inquiry into different approaches, including customizable applications to a variety of settings.
