Seven and a half million American students miss an entire month of school each year. While absenteeism and lateness most severely affects high school students, 10% of K-1st grade students already miss this much school. Attendance directly impacts short-term academic achievement and long-term graduation rates. Family and community partnerships are key to ensuring academic success, but our schools can do better at engagement. In fact, 65% of parents say they wish they were more involved in their children’s schooling. So, what can administrators, educators and youth program leaders do to respond effectively? In this session, participants will: examine tangible strategies that educators can employ to improve family engagement outline how to monitor and act on three key Early Warning Indicators (EWIs) for at risk students – the “ABCs” (attendance, behavior, and course scores) explore effective interventions and tracking tools that can be used immediately in the classroom.
