Attendance by Design: Building Systems That Improve Student Attendance

Attendance by Design: Building Systems That Improve Student Attendance

Let's get ready for the new school-year! Move beyond reacting to attendance concerns and create intentional systems that support every student, every day.

Workshop Description:

Strong attendance doesn't happen by chance-it happens by design. This interactive workshop will guide school and district leadership teams through the process of developing intentional, proactive attendance systems that support students before attendance concerns become chronic issues. Participants will leave with practical tools, planning templates, and a customized action plan to strengthen attendance practices throughout the school year.

Participants could leave with:

1. A year-long attendance action plan
2. A calendar of attendance team meetings and key checkpoints
3. Attendance meeting agendas and protocols
4. Tiered intervention and support systems
5. Strategies for attendance awareness, messaging, and family engagement
6. Recognition and incentive ideas that promote positive attendance habits
7. Tools for monitoring attendance data and measuring progress
