WEBINAR: Rethinking Attendance: Leadership Strategies with AI and Real-Time Student Data

In recognition of Attendance Awareness Month, Education Week will host a conversation with Urbana School District #116 and Panorama Education on rethinking chronic absenteeism through the lens of school and district leadership. The webinar will explore what absenteeism reveals about the student experience and how leaders can use AI and real-time attendance data—from individual patterns to district-wide trends—to challenge assumptions, address root causes, and implement proactive strategies that improve attendance and engagement. The session will highlight national trends, debunk common myths, and share research-based tools to support student belonging and re-engagement.
