Author: Michael A. GottfriedPublisher: Harvard Education Press
ISBN: 1682532798
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
In Absent from School, Gottfried and Hutt offer a comprehensive and timely resource for educators and policy makers seeking to understand the scope, impact, and causes of chronic student absenteeism. The editors present a series of studies by leading researchers from a variety of disciplines that address which students are missing school and why, what roles schools themselves play in contributing to or offsetting patterns of absenteeism, and ways to assess student attendance for purposes of school accountability. The contributors examine school-based initiatives that focus on a range of issues, including transportation, student health, discipline policies, and protections for immigrant students, as well as interventions intended to improve student attendance. Only in the past two or three years has chronic absenteeism become the focus of attention among policy makers, civil rights advocates, and educators. Absent from School provides the first critical, systematic look at research that can inform and guide those who are working to ensure that every child is in school and learning every day.

Pages : 288
Book Description
This book describes the fifteen strategies identified through research reviewed by The National Dropout Prevention Center and Network at Clemson University. Each chapter in this book was written by a nationally recognized authority in that field. Research has shown that these 15 strategies have been successfully implemented in all school levels from K - 12 in rural, suburban, and urban centers; as stand-alone programs or as part of systemic school improvement plans. Helping Students Graduate: A Strategic Approach to Dropout Prevention also covers No Child Left Behind and its effects on dropout rates; Dealing with Hispanic dropouts; Differences and similarities between rural and urban dropouts. These fifteen strategies have been adopted by the U.S. Department of Education. They are applicable to all students, including students with disabilities.
Solutions to Chronic Absenteeism

Book Description
School absenteeism and truancy confront educators on a daily basis. While public school districts in the U.S. experience daily rates of absenteeism, in the Los Angeles Unified school District (LAUSD), over 26,000 students miss school each day, totaling over 130,500 student absences each week. Regardless of whether these absences are excused (e.g., illness or bereavement) or unexcused (lack of transportation, vacation extensions, etc.), when students are absent from school they miss out on valuable instructional time. Data reveal that children with chronic rates of absenteeism have a more difficult time keeping up with their peers academically, are less likely to pass future courses and graduate high school, and are susceptible to detrimental social influences such as gang violence, drug use, and teen pregnancy. Nationally, 1 in 10 kindergartners are considered "chronically absent"; in LAUSD, 1 in 5 kindergartners is chronically absent, double the national rate. Further, for African- American kindergartners in LAUSD, the rate jumps to 1 in 3. In fact, kindergartners have the highest rates of chronic absence of all grade levels in the District. A growing body of research demonstrates that missing school in kindergarten highly correlates with poor student achievement in later grades however, yet very little is known about why our youngest students are missing so much school and what might be done to prevent excessive absence in the first place. In 2012, LAUSD developed a pilot Attendance Improvement Plan (AIP) to reveal the underlying reasons for this 1 in 3 statistic. This study used that data to reveal which LAUSD schools saw increases in attendance and which failed to make those improvements. After selecting a sample from each of these groups, I interviewed Principals, Teachers, and Attendance Improvement Counselors (Counselors) from six schools to examine what factors contributed to improved school attendance and how these staff members implemented strategies and ideas for doing so. Results from the study reveal recommendations about how to improve kindergarten attendance rates for the 2013-2014 school year.
