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. 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.
