Early Intervention Matters: How Addressing Chronic Absence Can Reduce Dropout Rates
Web-based Event
May 24, 2013
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM (Eastern)
Chronic absence, missing 10% or more of school for any reason regardless of whether absences are excused or unexcused, is a red alert that students are headed for academic trouble and eventually for dropping out of high school. Even as early as kindergarten, research shows these absences can affect academic achievement, especially for low-income students unable to make up for lost time. Chronic absence can set a pattern of poor attendance and academic failure for older students, fueling the dropout rate. The Webinar will discuss what the most recent national and state research says about the impact of chronic absence on key educational milestones, successful efforts to turn around poor attendance, and preliminary insights into what may be causing higher rates of absenteeism among students with disabilities.
