Web-based Event
https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/286091760
Preparing for college and careers requires more than mastering academic content. College and career exploration and planning play a critical role in engaging students through creating personalized learning opportunities and preparing them for life beyond school. Individualized Learning Plans (ILP) are one tool that middle school and high school students can use to define their personal interests, goals, and course choices through postsecondary education and careers. Many states have adopted or are exploring policies that require the use of ILPs. The American Youth Policy Forum, the College and Career Readiness and Success Center at the American Institutes for Research, and the Center for Workforce Development at the Institute for Educational Leadership are co-hosting this webinar on the use of ILPs across the country.

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.
