This week on AWB's Boost Bundle, we're diving deep into the critical issue of student absenteeism. We kick things off by understanding the 'why' behind student absences, exploring individual, family, school, and community factors. Then, we shift to identifying best practices, sharing proven strategies and tiered intervention systems for consistent attendance. Next, we guide you through assessing your current system, pinpointing areas for improvement through data review, policy assessment, and stakeholder feedback. Finally, we equip you to set a strategic improvement plan with SMART goals and actionable steps, and then effectively communicate that plan to all stakeholders for successful implementation. Tune in for a comprehensive guide to fostering a culture of consistent attendance and student success!Check out our huge inventory of resources at www.awbeducation.orgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/awb-edventures-podcasts--6630756/support.
