Improving Attendance: Levers Within Your District’s Locus of Control

Post-pandemic rates of absenteeism have roughly doubled—leaving districts seeking effective absenteeism interventions. But before interventions can be effective, districts need to understand the why behind student absences, and which factors they can best impact. With data and strategies directed at sense of belonging and teacher-student relationships, districts can make school stick for every student.

New research from Panorama has studied 1.7 million students across 40+ states. The research estimates that around 20% of a student’s probability to be chronically absent is impacted by the school they attend—even when controlling for student characteristics, learning needs, and school poverty level. This promising statistic means that district leaders have levers in their locus of control to improve school climate and improve attendance.

Listen to this engaging edWeb podcast to hear from district leaders about how they:

• Capture and track data to understand which students need attendance support
• Implement Tier 1 practices to grow sense of belonging for all students
• Integrate strategies in every classroom through effective staff training

Plus, the panelists share free toolkits, blogs, and other resources to get you started! This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
