Featured Partner Best Practice
TIER 1:
Awareness: Creating awareness about the impact of absences amongst all stake holders including school administrators, parents, students, communities etc.
Encouragement: Acknowledging and rewarding students for good attendance.
Engage Early: For example, to prevent truancy, engage parents before 3 unexcused absences occur because at the 3rd occurrence, students are already truants.
TIER 2:
Detection: Access to Real-time Data Analysis. Detecting possible absenteeism behavior early.
Understanding Barriers: Identifying the reasons and challenges students may be facing that are causing frequent excused or unexcused absences.
Personalized Interventions: Provide interventions for absences quickly as per the specific circumstances of each student.
Mentors: Teacher or coach becoming a mentor or creating cross-age buddy system, where a junior can look up to a senior student with good habits and becomes a mentee of either the coach or the student.
TIER 3:
Coordination: Collaboration with 3rd party social services programs to help students and families overcome challenges they may be facing and providing legal interventions as the last resort.
Tracking: Constantly monitor the progress after interventions were implemented and tracking if any adjustments are needed.
Follow-up: Setting up plans to follow-up with students and families to sustain the gains made.
