In partnership with ADE, the Arkansas Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (AR-GLR), Attendance Works, and the Education Renewal Zones have developed a series of professional development opportunities for district and school administrators, teachers, and other personnel. This guide is designed to help facilitate a one day professional development workshop for teams of administrators and personnel from schools around the state.
The objectives of the workshop are to:
Enhance their understanding of chronic absence,
Highlight the correlation between attendance and school wide goals,
Understand the philosophy and functionality of the attendance team,
Examine a multi-tiered approach to addressing chronic absences, and
Use chronic absence data to determine attendance goals and interventions.
