Attendance
Improvement
Institute
The Attendance Improvement Institute is a two-day working event that guides district-level teams to build locally appropriate, research- based, and foundational attendance improvement plans that have high probability of significantly improving attendance rates. Additionally, the Institute prepares district-level teams to replicate the attendance improvement planning process with school-site teams, to provide necessary professional development to school-site teams, and to guide and sustain school-level initiatives.
During the two-day working event, school teams will be guided to produce and implement customized and logical plans of action. Participating teams will leave the event with workable district plans, strategies for school-level implementation, and links to ongoing support and resources that will sustain their work over time.
